Rotten World Blues Lyrics

Well i went walking

 Out yesterday

 A man was carrying a sign that says

 "the world is gonna end tomorrow"

 Hey buddy, got a nickel i can borrow?

 

 This rotten world's gonna chew you up

 Swallow you whole and then spit you back out

 The sooner you recognize this simple fact

 Then this rotten world gives you what you lack

 

 Ol' miss headtrip

 She's gettin' down

 You don't see her much walking 'round town

 Well you could say that she needs a little lovin'

 Looking for a light with her head in the oven

 

 This rotten world's gonna chew you up

 Swallow you whole and then spit you back out

 The sooner you recognize this simple fact

 Then this rotten world gives you what you lack

 

 Miss kovaleva

 She's lookin' good

 Walkin' her ass through the neighborhood

 She knows something that you don't know

 Something she learned about a long time ago

 

 This rotten world's gonna chew you up

 Swallow you whole and then spit you back out

 The sooner you recognize this simple fact

 Then this rotten world gives you what you lack

 

 This rotten world's gonna chew you up

 Swallow you whole and then spit you back out
