Big Bad World

I tip my head back
 And I'm staring at the stars, just pissing this night away
 I've been praying for something
 From above to come down and save me
 It's been a long one
 Working for the man all day
 It's been a long one
 Dying just to get away
 Well it's a roll of the dice
 Your luck's finally run
 You're picking your lucky numbers
 'Cause you're lucky number one
 Digging into your pockets
 Scrimping, scraping every hole
 With the things that you won't tear
 You wrap up on the wall
 You be longer than in your own ride
 You got to break your back to break even most every time
 Work days, weekdays, weak plays
 Well, something's gotta change before you go insane
 But you know
 (It's a big bad world)
 That it goes on and on and on and on, you know
 (It's a big bad world)
 That it goes on and on, the same old song, you know
 (It's a big bad world)
 That it goes on and on and it's the same old song
 There's nothing you can do
 They'll break your back in two
 But you just can't quit
 So you work and you pay
 And you break your back for another day
 In this big bad world
 Well, it's a big bad world
 And you work and you pay
 Well, and you break your back for another day
 In this big bad world
 Well, it's a big bad world
 Well, it's a toss up
 All around the world the suit and tie bar
 It's a blue collar, broth wasting
 Regular sweat shop
 It's a new game they play
 That goes around the old clock
 But what's the difference when you're running around
 And you're trying to get ahead, stop
 20 bucks at the pub, hey
 20 bucks more the same day
 20 bucks at the pump, hey, hey
 They got you going crazy
 Welcome to the party
 Break your back at the front door
 Check your check and wallet
 Party at the pub floor
 And you know
 (It's a big bad world)
 That it goes on and on and on and on, you know
 (It's a big bad world)
 That it goes on and on, the same old song, you know
 (It's a big bad world)
 That it goes on and on and it's the same old song
 There's nothing you can do
 They'll break your back in two
 But you just can't quit
 So you work and you pay
 And you break your back for another day
 In this big bad world
 Well, it's a big bad world
 And you work and you pay
 Well, and you break your back for another day
 In this big bad world
 Well, it's a big bad world
 So you work and you pay
 And you break your back for another day
 We're in this big bad world
 Well, it's a big bad world
 No more work, no more pay
 Don't wanna break my back for another day
 In this big bad world
 It's a big bad world
 No more work, no more pay
 Don't wanna break my back for one more day
 In this big bad world
 Well, it's a big bad world
 And we were waiting for that new day to come around
