Young wild boy with a tortured soul
I call no place home
Well now it's late at night, I feel alone
I'd questioned where I belong
The end is near, I can tell
What a world we live in now
Looking forward to it, I know you are
The devil he raises hell
The noises' clearer, I can hear them now
I can see they're coming, yeah, they're climbing out
I stood by the corner, yeah, it's funny how
They don't care about us, they keep on running out
What a world, what a world
What a world we live in now
What a world, what a world
Burn the bridges, now it's falling down
May the bridges I burn they light the way
And much more than this, I did it my way
I've had a hard time trying to escape
And thanks to all the drugs, they are my getaway
Numb the pain, I'm dancing in the pouring rain
Kill my pain, can somebody erase my pain
The noises' clearer, I can hear them now
I can see they're coming, yeah, they're climbing out
I stood by the corner, yeah, it's funny how
They don't care about us, they keep on running out
What a world, what a world
What a world we live in now
What a world, what a world
Burn the bridges, now it's falling down
What a world, what a world
What a world we live in now
What a world, what a world
Burn the bridges, now it's falling down
