Stop The World · letra

Well it's okay to murder babies But we really ought to save the wales We're putting criminals in office Cause it's way too crowded in the jails T.V. is our teacher now The schools are overrun by thugs And children skip their innocence And graduate to sex and drugs Right is wrong and wrong is right White is black and black is white I think I just lost my appetite Stop the world I wanna get off
Stop the world I wanna get off This is too weird for me Stop the world I want to get off I get the definite impression That this isn't how it's meant to be No, no
Fear is taking over Anxiety is on the rise Well you can feel it in the air You can see it in your neighbor's eyes The working man is desperate He can't support his family And we could pull the nation out of debt For what we spend on locks and keys And even suburbia is under attack They're all buying handguns Trying to fight back There's a vigilante picnic in the cul de sac Stop the world I wanna get off
Stop the world I wanna get off This is too weird for me Stop the world I want to get off I've just to to find a planet Where they're interested in sanity Hey yeah
i wish I had some spaceman gear I swear I'd fly away from here I cry to God this fervent prayer "Oh please, just take me anywhere Don't leave me here"
We take our loftiest intentions And engrave them all neatly in stone and one they're safely up there We'd prefer that they just leave us alone Cause it's the law of the jungle With distinctly carnivorous vibes Yeah, we may dress up in tuxedos But we function like Germanic tribes It's the age old sin in a modern day From the club of Cain to the laser ray But now we can blow everybody away Stop the world I want to get off
Stop the world I wanna get off This is too weird, a little too weird for me Stop the world I want to get off I've just got to find a planet Well, I've just got to find a planet Got to find a planet Where they're interested in sanity
Yeah, yeah Somebody stop the world Ooh yeah Somebody stop the world
