When the World's Got You Down -

Well it takes all you got just to stay on your feet

When you’re alone on the ground

It seems like years since you found a friend

When the world’s got you down

And the people you meet get stranger in time

As the world spins around

The chances you take are one’s that will break

When the world’s got you down

When the world’s got you down (x4)

I haven’t seen you smile in a long long time

And your silence abounds

The grass grows greener or so they say my friend

Since the world brought you down

You can keep climbing but the hill never ends

And you feel you’ll never be found

The sky is gray and the dusk never fades

Since the world brought you down

Since the world brought you down (x4)

You feel like this world’s a wonderful place

But someone’s locked you out

I’m sure you can’t see that someone is you

Cause the world dragged you down

I think you should learn to think for yourself

And pick yourself up off the ground

I hope you know how but you’re so tightly wound

Cause the world dragged you down

When the world’s dragged you down (x4)

All that is left is a footprint of sand

In an empty old town

And the sign on the wall points to nowhere at all

When the world’s got you down

Buildings are burned, and the streets are all bare

All the leaves have turned to brown

And the end of the line seem so far from here

When the world’s got you down

When the world’s got you down (x4)
