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
Chorus:
This world's 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 is 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
Trying to sell me an easy way out
I ain't buying none of it
And I know what it's all about
For this world, this world, this world, this world
Chorus:
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
