Telling the World Off

I know that'
I shouldn't saying this
But, baby it's a fact
Here I am
Telling the world off
And I shouldn't be
Saying that
      ------
Seems' that, that the thing's
That we do is just an act
But, in the truth of the matter
The whole world is wack
      ------
We call it peace
And we know it's a lie
All those who fought
For this county
Who knew so many
Would die
And so many mother's
Would have to cry
      ------
We call it peace
Yet, we go to war
The victim's see evil
Some get a shinny new car
      ------
And what's up with that
Those shinny new car's
And thing's
     -----
Anyway
      ------
I'm a man of tradition
And my only mission
Is to live a life of greater
Abstention
      ------
But, then I need their permission
      ------
There is one thing that
I want to say
And that is
The life of subsidizing
The truth in ambition
Is just not the way
      ------
Tis to be in league
With the Devil
That lead's to Pedition
And there you will stay

             GF
