we hold the course to glory and fame
we are the shining iversion
to pathetic wandering
you're on the wrong track
we're on the right
if you don't change your horizon
you will surely suffocate

you used to say you want it too
you used to say you need it so bad
you used to say you want it too
ignore the old you're welcome in the new

take on the shell you grow into
there is a sense but not for you
what a wonderful world
what a wonderful world

don't get us dazed with genuine truth
you're complicating the plan
and we don't win no war with this
don't read the small print
don't chat away
just be a copy and paste
just be a cosmopolitan

you used to say you want it too
you used to say you need it so bad
you used to say you want it too
ignore the old you're welcome in the new

there is a sense but not for you
what a wonderful world
what a wonderful world
this is your grave now lie in it
look at the stars and rest a bit
what a wonderful world
what a wonderful world

we own the definition power
we rule the situation
you're a vector a value a visitor
you're a parameter a parameter

you used to say you want it too
you used to say you need it so bad
you used to say you want it too
ignore the old you're welcome in the new

take on the shell you grow into
there is a sense but not for you
what a wonderful world
what a wonderful world
this is your grave now lie in it
look at the stars and rest a bit
what a wonderful world
what a wonderful world
you don't need friends and enemies
no self reliance no abilities
what a wonderful world
what a wonderful world
