Way of the World lyrics
There's a mean wind blowin' this way
Everyone thinks it's okay
The common law is lowest of all
So why do we laugh when we watch
Someone else take a fall?
It's the way of the world
Say a prayer and it all comes true
Cross your heart, hold your breath
Touch the wall you might make it through
Oh Lord, please let the landing
Gears come down, it's a cry in the dark
And you know you don't make a sound
It's the way of the world
Like a good soldier marking my time
I got my reward, it was mine
Cut off my hair and burned down my home
Sold my voice to the devil
And all I got left was alone
It's the way of the world
Say a prayer and it all comes true
Cross your heart, hold your breath
Touch the wall you might make it through
Oh Lord, please let the landing
Gears come down, it's a cry in the dark
And you know you won't make a sound
It's the way of the world, it's the way of the world
What were you expecting?
What were you expecting?
What were you expecting?
What did you have planned?
I know a woman, she's so very small
Has nothing to say so she speaks for us all
Looking for love and karmic relief
An act of contrition heals everything
That's her belief
It's the way of the world
Say a prayer and it all comes true
Cross your heart, hold your breath
Touch the wall, you might make it through
Oh Lord, please let the landing
Gears come down, it's a cry in the dark
And you know you don't make a sound
It's the way of the world, it's the way of the world
What were you expecting?
(It's the way of the world, say a prayer for you)
What were you expecting?
(It's the way of the world and it'll all come true)
What were you expecting?
(It's the way of the world, it's not what you have planned)
