When the World Was Round - Ian Hunter

Remember the kids in the playground avoiding the bullies each day

Timing your life to the monsters, the monsters that won’t go away

And you win some, you lose some, you ain’t got much choice

So you choose one, what have you done?

Everybody lies and we’re stuck in the middle

I think I liked it better when the world was round

There’s too much information but not enough to go on

I think I liked it better when the world was round

Now that we’re older and wiser, now we got kids of our own

Timing their lives to the monsters but the monsters won’t leave them alone

You win some, you lose some, you ain’t got much choice

But it’s gotta be done, yeah, it’s gotta be done

'Cause everybody lies and we’re stuck in the middle

I think I liked it better when the world was round

There’s too much information but not enough to go on

I think I liked it better when the world was round;

I don’t wanna put you off it, I don’t wanna put you off it

But I think I liked it better when the world was round

And I wish that I could change it, yes I wish that I could change it

I think I liked it better when the world was round

Is it my imagination?

When I look back through the ages?

Is it my imagination?

Yeah

You win some, you lose some, you only got two shots

So you take one, what have you done?

'Cause everybody lies and we’re stuck in the middle

I think I liked it better when the world was round

There’s too much information but not enough to go on

I think I liked it better when the world was round

And I don’t think we deserve this, no I don’t think we deserve this

I think I liked it better when the world was round

Give me a reason to believe in, give me a reason to believe in

I think I liked it better when the world was round

Maybe we can make it better, maybe we can make it better

I think I liked it better when the world was round

When the world was round, when the world was round

I think I liked it better when the world was round

When the world was round, when the world was round
