|
Well it's been a long day but i don't like to moan |
|
It's the middle of summer and i'm chilled to the bone |
|
There's holes in my shoes where the rain comes in |
|
I'm sitting on top of the world |
|
Walking in the shadows of empty office blocks |
|
I was talking to a stranger and he's on the rocks |
|
Down on the pavement living in a box |
|
I'm sitting on top of the world |
|
Oh no can't anybody see |
|
It's been a bad day and i want a little peace |
|
Oh no won't you please help me |
|
I want to lie down but there's no beds free |
|
Down on the corner there's starry eyed preachers |
|
Rattling cans and pimping jesus |
|
There's madmen on boxes makig speeches |
|
I'm sitting on top of the world |
|
You can't sit in the sunshine or go out after dark |
|
There's dogs on the loose acting like sharks |
|
There's psychos on the streets burning winos in the park |
|
I'm sitting on top of the world |
|
Oh no i wish i was gone |
|
I want to get going before too long |
|
Oh no i want to leave town |
|
But i can't drive my car 'cause they put it in the pound |
|
The masters of industry are killing for oil |
|
There's poison in the air the water and the soil |
|
We're all turning mutant they're counting up their spoils |
|
I'm sitting on top of the world |
|
I turn on the tv and it makes me want to cry |
|
There's killing and there's torture there's destruction and there's lies |
|
And our leaders talk rubbish and more people die |
|
I'm sitting on top of the world |
|
Oh no i can't take anymore |
|
I'm shaking all over and my nerves are all raw |
|
Oh no my head's a little sore |
|
I want to get out but i can't find the door |
