There must be something wrong with the world

from Unlucky For Some by Jim Pearson

lyrics

There must be something wrong with the world

When rules of thumb turn out all wrong
When this way up is upside down
When have-not’s have and have’s have-not
When we appreciate what we’ve got

Somewhere there are children who are starving
My food doesn’t cost as much as the packaging

There must be something wrong with the world

When we understand the technology we use
When we learn to walk in other people’s shoes
When religious leaders lose their faith in deities
When the populations worship human frailties

Somewhere there are children working in factories
If don’t like the clothes I’m wearing I’ll give them to charity

There must be something wrong with the world
