It's A Sorry World - Live

You can go to war when you're 18
 But you can't buy a beer
 You can load missiles on a submarine
 But you can't buy a pistol here
 You can breathe chemical weapon skims
 But they don't want you to smoke
 so when you're shootin' up a bar in Baghdad, don't order a rum and coke
 You can have sex when you're 17
 You just can't have a cigarette
 You ain't old enough for a slot machine
 Or to lay down a football bet
 But they'll take you to the clinic if you're 15
 And your folks don't have to know
 Or you can take penicillin, just don't watch people
 Gettin' naked on video
 You can be a governor at 21
 Or a president at 35
 You can be the senator from south Carolina
 If you can just stay alive
 They'll throw you in with sharks when you're 12 years old
 Teach you to scuba dive
 But when you're 94 and can't see anymore
 they'll still let you drive
 Just don't get caught ith no beer in your hand if you just turned 18
 They don't mind you ownin' a sedoline torch
 and a gallon of gasoline
 You just can't buy smokes at the liquor store or y'all will both go to jail
 But they'll sell you a rope
 so you can hang yourself while you're listening to Nine Inch Nails
 It's a sorry World
 It's a sooorry world
 It's a sorry world when you can raise youngans but you can't smoke a Marlborough
 It's a sorry world when you're 17 and you can't call a callgirl.
