This world's got me in its grip
Ain't no way I can wriggle out
Sometimes such a crazy place
Makes you wanna scream and shout

This world is holding all the keys
Gotta break it before it breaks me
Something gonna happen soon
Something set us free from this world

This world
This world
This world

This world's got me on my knees
There was a time when I used to stand tall
Too many years in the factories
Scrubbing floors and walls

Dealers on the corner of every street
Try to sell me an easy way out
I ain't buying none of it
Wanna know what it's all about

This world
This world
This world
This world

This world is holding all the keys
Gotta break it before it breaks me
Something gotta happen soon
Something set us free from this world

This world
This world
This world
