The World is so Sick - Malvina Reynolds

The world is so sick it can never be saved

The world is so sick it can never be saved

The world is so sick it can never be saved

It’s built a bull-dozer that’s digging its grave

The world is so sick it can never be well

The world is so sick it can never be well

The world is so sick it can never be well

It’s splitting the atom to blow it to hell

The world is so clever, so busy and wise

The world is so clever, so busy and wise

It’s twisting its words so thy all come out lies

It’s forging the iron to put out its yes

The world is so sick it can never recall

It’s weaving the noose that is hanging us all

The people, the critters, the big and the small

It’s weaving the noose that is hanging us all

So don’t blame the kids if they’re angry and wild

So don’t blame the kids if they’re angry and wild

So don’t blame the kids if they’re angry and wild

This world is no place for an innocent child
