Backwards World - Pop Etc

I can tell it wears you out

You deserve better now

But a loss is a loss

Any old way

You played by the rules

You kept every word

But no one ever heard

What you wanted to say

It’s a backwards world

It’s a backwards world

Upstream is forward

In a backwards world

When a man gets your respect

You know it won’t buy him much

So maybe it’s not

Worth as much as it once was

If the total of it all

Doesn’t add up to an ounce

So when, then what is it for?

Yeah, what is it all for?

It’s a backwards world

It’s a backwards world

Upstream is forward

In our backwards world

Is this truly my faith?

Pray to the Lord my soul to take around, around, around

If you don’t show me sign

Then it’s up to me to find

It’s a backwards world

It’s a backwards world

Upstream is forward

In our backwards world
