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)
