lyrics

Out of work he’d go out in a blaze of glory
Call up the TV make sure the film that whole story
Cameras rollin’ as we watch that sucker burn
Tell me children what kind of lesson did we all learn

It’s the way of the world oh yeah just the way of the world uh ha
Way of that world, way of that world

Last night a bachelor he’d go out and have himself a little fun
Him and his buddy rape a deaf mute woman on the Art Institute lawn
At the reception everybody said that bride she sure looked cute
As the police hauled him away still wearing his monkey suit

It’s the way of the world oh yeah just the way of the world uh ha
Way of that world, way of that world

I don’t understand it, it don’t make no sense to me
You tell there’s justice I don’t believe it I just know it ain’t true
It’s the way of the world oh yeah just the way of the world uh ha
Way of that world, way of that world

Fourteen years old and the child is going to have herself a child
She won’t believe it if you told her you know she’d just get riled
A bottle of wine and she knelt in front of that speeding train
Made the sign of the cross as Amtrak took away her pain

It’s the way of the world oh yeah just the way of the world uh ha
Way of that world, way of that world
I don’t understand it, it don’t make no sense to me
You tell there’s justice I don’t believe it I just know it ain’t true

Way of the way of the world now Way of the way of the world now
Way of the way of the world now Way of the way of the world now
