There's a mean wind blowin' this way

Everyone thinks it's okay

The common law is lowest of all

So why do we laugh when we watch someone else take a fall.



It's the way of the world

Say a prayer and it all comes true

Cross your heart, hold your breath, touch the wall

You might make it through

Oh Lord, please let the landing gears come down

It's a cry in the dark

And you know you don't make a sound

It's the way of the world.



Like a good soldier marking my time

I got my reward, it was mine

Cut off my hair and burned down my home

Sold my voice to the devil

And all I got left was alone.



It's the way of the world

Say a prayer and it all comes true

Cross your heart, hold your breath, touch the wall

You might make it through

Oh Lord, please let the landing gears come down

It's a cry in the dark

And you know you don't make a sound

It's the way of the world

It's the way of the world.



What were you expecting

What were you expecting

What were you expecting

What did you have planned.



I know a woman, she's so very small

Has nothing to say so she speaks for us all

Looking for love and karmic relief

An act of contrition heals everything

That's her belief.



It's the way of the world

Say a prayer and it all comes true

Cross your heart, hold your breath, touch the wall

You might make it through

Oh Lord, please let the landing gears come down

It's a cry in the dark

And you know you don't make a sound

It's the way of the world

It's the way of the world.



What were you expecting

(It's the way of the world I'll say a prayer for you)

What were you expecting

(It's the way of the world and it'll all come true)

What were you expecting

(It's the way of the world)

It's not what you had planned.
