This is a mean old world Try and live it by yourself This is a mean old world Try and live it by yourself Can't get the one you love Have to use somebody else I've got the blues Gonna pack my things and go I've got the blues Gonna pack my thing and go I guess you don't love me You lovin' mister so and so Sometime I wonder why Can your love be so cold?

It's all about the feeling that comes to an end Everything comes to an end It's all about the feeling that comes to an end Everything comes to an end My country's surrounded by The Black Sea and pine woods The mountains and few hundred thousands troops Waiting for a command The empires are dying with blood on their trembling hands It's all about the feeling that comes to an end Everything comes to an end I'm not gonna miss the good old world It leaks and stinks Pipelines filled with blood Deliver it to your kitchen sinks Will you pour me a glass? Oh boy, you don't have to be brave But you have to be fast My country's surrounded by The Black Sea and pine woods The mountains and few hundred thousands troops Waiting for a command While the leaders are shaking their hands Drowning in their deepest concerns Murky just like their brains While millions fleeing their homes And their lives are being possessed By the ugliness of war And the hypocrisy of modern days And I wish I knew how to stand it And I wish we could get along All my life I'm watching the world end But somehow it finds a way to carry on
