Isn’t it funny how people change
I’m still waiting to see your face
Isn’t it funny how people change
In such peculiar ways
You and me, we’re so tied up
I wanna cut loose, I wanna blow it up
I've tried once before, but
You know the people in this world they’ll never change
They just wanna see you and your ridiculous face
They don’t care about your space
They don’t care about her place
And this is how the world works
C (up 2 frets)
This is how the world works
This is how the world works
If you’ve got the looks, you’ve got it right
I don’t wanna be a part, I want to fight
But it’s hard to fight
When you’re stuck in the bottom of a big, black sea
The bottom of an empty street
The bottom of a never ending beach
But it’s not how the world works
C (up 2 frets)
This is how the world works
This is how the world works
It's not how the world works
C (up 2 frets)
This is how the world works
This is how the world works, oh
Mama, what’s she doing there?
She’s got nothing left to spare
It’s all gone, we took it away
Is that what we do today?
Go jump in the sea
Go and see what is free
Oh nothing's ever free, oooh
(Oh nothing's ever free, oh nothing's ever free)
This is what the world wants
C (up 2 frets)
Don’t you know what the world wants?
Hey
(This is what the world wants, this is what the world wants)
This is what it wants
(This is what the world wants, this is what the world wants)
Don't you know what she wants?
(This is what the world wants, this is what the world wants)
