Welcome to the World

about the world we live in

Welcome to the world,

We’ll pretty you right up.

Take your briefcase and overcoat

With handcuffs on your wrist.

Make the most of given pleasure

‘Cause you won’t get any more.

 

Turn your view straight on ahead.

There’s no turning back.

Smile in the sunlight ‘til

You can drink when it is dark.

Come dance along this masquerade

‘Cause you won’t get any more.

 

Here’s some money for charity

To give them pseudo hope.

Now march right back to work,

There’s money to be made.

Feed on this while you can

‘Cause you won’t get any more.

 

Be on your best behavior.

Don’t dare speak your mind.

Let them think you’re sane when

You’re tearing up inside.

Hold on to your bit of pride

‘Cause you won’t get any more.

 

Don’t worry about your children.

They've always understood

Since you handed them their cuffs

When their eyes first met the light.

Teach and give them what you can

‘Cause you won’t get anymore.
