Wide Wild World Lyrics

It's a wide wide world out there but don't despair

I'm right here to teach you how you can grin and bear it

It seems only fair to share my affairs and prepare you

For the unclear social nightmare we call society

A stagnant form of global piety it's rarer than sobriety

To understand the lives we lead we justify the lies you see

It seems to be that makes it okay for us to exist this way

It feels archaic in the modern day but who am I to say

Anyway the world's cray-cray so just enjoy your stay

It's easy to get lost in the games they play

But if you refrain and spend some time away from the insane

You'll find it's nice to reclaim your brain from the stain of expectation

And those sensations you feel day-to-day it pains me to say

Are not quite the same see we can each only claim to relate to your frame of mind

But what no one will say or even try to explain - is simple and plain

See through the noise break from the crowd

Find your own voice shout it out loud

Don't get lost in the sway make your own way

In this life you've got something to say

In this wide wild world you've got to be bold

Navigate the chaos let your story unfold

Stay true to yourself don't do what you're told

In this wide wild world let your spirit take hold

So if you're sick of hearing boring stories from the over-forties

Only because they have a chance to relive their glory years

You're only performing the role of an adoring underling by stalling

And I implore you to explore the piece of you that's yawning

Resist the assuring feeling that you can begin snoring more and more

Is causing you to miss the only scoring piece of lore

If they could skip the gore and say it raw begin with what the story's for

Then sure - you could incur fewer wordy chores

But one day you'll be the one audibly inventorying your dirty laundry

For everyone to find as revelatory storing your audience in an allegorical purgatory

And ignoring that you're sorely informing their deplorable need to ignore you

When you see this occurring refer back to this track blaring and what it's declaring

I'm just clearing the air here and sharing a scary piece of despair I've been fearing

Trying to engineer a way to repair it or interfere with its bearing

See through the noise break from the crowd

Find your own voice shout it out loud

Don't get lost in the sway make your own way

In this life you've got something to say

In this wide wild world you've got to be bold

Navigate the chaos let your story unfold

Stay true to yourself don't do what you're told

In this wide wild world let your spirit take hold

So when you're the one clawing to restore a piece of your former memento mori

Or boring your family in-laws with your poorly told histories

At least skip the sorry feeling before you realize they ain't listening

And restore some hauteur swiftly

Or simply accept the stark reality that you're missing the mark

Just pass on your vanity and stall before you dismiss the reality of it all

Basically we should all learn that age does not bring instant rapport

See through the noise break from the crowd

Find your own voice shout it out loud

Don't get lost in the sway make your own way

In this life you've got something to say

In this wide wild world find your own way

Don't let the noise and clutter lead you astray

Hold on to your dreams let your spirit sway

In this wide wild world make your own play

In this wide wild world you've got to be bold

Navigate the chaos let your story unfold

Stay true to yourself don't do what you're told

In this wide wild world let your spirit take hold

In this wide wild world
