Lyrics

Perfect World

Boo boo boo, take a look at you

Hangin' on third and daisy

Whoa bo bo, policeman after you

Smokin' crack cocaine make you crazy

You think everything's perfect in your world today

I think everything's just not really

Take out your glass pipe, take off your sunglasses

And tell me what you can see

And I say lies, corruption, look this way

Girly on the corner but she's not okay

You got lies if you got rats in the street

You got, no shoes no shoes on your babies feet

Whoa ho ho ho ho

It's a perfect world, perfect world

It's a perfect world

It's a perfect world, yow

Bo bo bo take a look at you on your way to Kenny's

Whoa bo bo, why don't you stop that crap?

Smokin' that bum makes you crazy

But everything's crazy in the world today

So you, you might as well smoke it anyway

I say, you might as well

It hit, it lit, you well like that

Which you cannot say

What is up? What's down?

What is up? What's down?

What's up, what's down?

I don't know what's going round

Head is spinning and it feels alright

But the kids, the kids

The kids are alright

Bo bo bo bo

It's a perfect world

Whoa on and on it's a perfect world

Gotta keep living in a perfect world

Gotta keep pushing in a perfect world

Gotta keep pushing in a perfect world

Gotta keep pushing

You know we could end it right there
