The world is so sick it can never be saved,
The world is so sick it can never be saved,
The world is so sick it can never be saved,
It's built a bull-dozer that's digging its grave.

The world is so sick it can never be well,
The world is so sick it can never be well,
The world is so sick it can never be well,
It's splitting the atom to blow it to hell.

The world is so clever, so busy and wise,
The world is so clever, so busy and wise,
It's twisting its words so they all come out lies,
It's forging the iron to put out its eyes.

The world is so sick it can never recall,
It's weaving the noose that is hanging us all,
The people, the critters, the big and the small,
It's weaving the noose that is hanging us all.

So don't blame the kids if they're angry and wild,
So don't blame the kids if they're angry and wild,
So don't blame the kids if they're angry and wild,
This world is no place for an innocent child.
