| Well it’s been a long day but I don’t like to moan
|
| The middle of summer and I’m chilled to the bone
|
| Holes in my shoes where the rain comes in
|
| I’m sittin' on top of the world
|
| Walkin' in the shadows of empty office blocks
|
| I was talking to a stranger said, he’s on the rocks
|
| Down on the pavement, living in a box
|
| I’m sittin' on top of the world
|
| Oh no, can’t anybody see?
|
| It’s been a bad day and I want a little peace
|
| Oh no, won’t you please help me?
|
| I wanna lie down but there’s no beds free
|
| Down on the corner there’s starry eyed preachers
|
| Rattling cans and pimpin' Jesus
|
| There’s madmen on boxes making speeches
|
| I’m sittin' on top of the world
|
| You can’t sit in the sunshine or go out after dark
|
| Dogs on the loose, actin' like sharks
|
| Psychos on the streets burning winos in the park
|
| I’m sittin' on top of the world
|
| Oh no, I wish I was gone
|
| I wanna get goin' before too long
|
| Oh no, I wanna leave town
|
| But can’t drive my car 'cause they put it in the pound
|
| The masters of industry are killing for oil
|
| There’s poison in the air and the water and the soil
|
| We’re all turnin' mutant, they’re counting up their spoils
|
| I’m sittin' on top of the world
|
| I turn on the TV and it makes me wanna cry
|
| There’s killing and there’s torture, destruction and lies
|
| Leaders talk rubbish, more people die
|
| I’m sittin' on top of the world
|
| Oh no, I can’t take any more
|
| I’m shakin' all over and my nerves are all raw
|
| Oh no, my head’s a little sore
|
| I wanna get out but I can’t find the door
|
| Oh no, I can’t take any more
|
| I’m shakin' all over and my nerves are all raw
|
| Oh no, my head’s a little sore
|
| Wanna get out but I can’t find the door
|
| I’m sittin' on top of the world
|
| I’m sittin' on top of the world
|
| I’m sittin' on top of the world |
