Put The World To Rights Lyrics

My neighbour's driving in his brand new car

Smoking skunk and getting high

Don't think he's ever worked a day in his life

I pay his dues so he's just fine

He want's a free ride on that gravy train

Yeah he sure works the system right

Just have more kids and get your digs for free

Who needs dignity or pride.

So many things that make me mad in this world

But when i'm talking to you

Everything is fine cos we got time

To put the world to rights

Everything is fine cos our eyes are open wide

Let's put the world to rights

But my heart goes out to their baby girls

Their momma's angry all the time

She only had them to hold on to her man

Who's gonna love those kids tonight

So many things that make me sad in this world

But when i'm walking with you

Everything is fine cos we got time

To put the world to rights

Everything is fine cos our hearts are open wide

Let's put the world to rights

A family man he made a stand tonight

He tried to calm the angry mob

Just angry kids out looking for a fight

They took his life now all their hopes are gone

Life is a travesty

But what do we really need

Don't wait for luck don't wait for charity

Just be the best that you can be

So many things that make no sense in this world

But when i lay down with you

Everything is fine cos we got time

To put the world to rights

Everything is fine cos our eyes are open wide

Let's put the world to rights

Everything is fine cos we got time

To put the world to rights

Everything is fine cos our hearts are open wide

Let's put the world to rights

Everything is fine cos we got time

To put the world to rights

Everything is fine girl lay down by my side

Let's put the world to rights
