The World's Gone Wrong

[Verse 1] They get up every morning and they go to work He sells cars and she's a nurse Workin' long hours is the devil's curse Things are gettin' tight, but it could be worse She tries hard to ignore the news Nothing makes sense and she gets confused Between what is false and what is true And she worries they won't get through [Chorus] Come on, baby, we gotta be strong Dark days are getting long Looking for comfort in a song Everybody knows the world's gone wrong Evеrybody knows the world's gone wrong [Verse 2] They can see what's going down Empty housеs all over town So many lost are never found And bad, bad signs are all around A lot of people being put on the street It's gettin' harder to make ends meet He comes home every night feelin' beat And wonders how long he can take the heat [Chorus] Come on, baby, we gotta be strong Dark days are getting long Looking for comfort in a song Everybody knows the world's gone wrong Everybody knows the world's gone wrong [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] She stares out the window and shakes her head She can't believe the things she's read She can't believe what's being said Some days she can't get outta bed She hopes this won't last forever She needs to believe it's gonna get better It's getting hard to keep it together They need each other now more than ever [Chorus] Come on, baby, we gotta be strong Dark days are getting long Looking for comfort in a song Everybody knows the world's gone wrong Everybody knows the world's gone wrong [Bridge] She holds him tight and softly smiles Says, "Baby, let's put on some Miles And dance barefoot across the tiles And forget our troubles for a little while" [Outro] Everybody knows the world's gone wrong Everybody knows the world's gone wrong Everybody knows the world's gone wrong Baby, the world's gone wrong Baby, the world's gone wrong Everybody knows the world's gone wrong Everybody knows the world's gone wrong Everybody knows the world's gone wrong
