lyrics

VERSE 1:
This world is full of women who have made bad decisions
ever since they were in junior high school
This world is full of men who will take advantage of them
only care about what’s in their pants and what they think is cool

CHORUS
That’s why this world will not change
Just keeps on spinning while we dig graves
The world, no, it cannot be changed
And when we’re gone the world lives on
No one left to remember your name
(Or why you came)

VERSE 2:
This world is full of children who already have obstacles to ever live their dreams or even breaking free
And yet this world has people with good intentions
but they’re vastly outnumbered by those who don’t care or just don’t see….They just don’t see

CHORUS

BRIDGE
We’re just along for the ride
Too much going on outside
We cannot change the tide
We’re just along for the ride

CHORUS
Why are you here anyway
