When you're down and out, nobody wants to know you A boy and a girl running away They won't get far Somebody gets shot And somebody else laughs They think it's so funny It's a sad world The river will swallow you up Please take me away With all the madmen I'd be better off in this? Take me away It's a game Ah it's a game and it's an evil game Everybody is out for themselves The wind blew and the man went up to heaven for one day The old man in the grey coat Always so sad in the sad world The devil is laughing At all the sad people in the sad world Take another toke to get your head together Always drinking all night long if you could ? Jody's? gone to sleep now, we can speak about sadness in the world Joe is crossing the road Car comes, knocks him down Somebody's screamed? into a dream The wind hollered I could see the fire in hell in a dream The men and the women are always so frightened Always so scared The little child is always crying As the shadows fall on me Somebody I think coming to kill me So they? a knife and then they killed me Somebody knew which way the boys are fighting in the corner Always fighting, crying The world will end someday Won't be too soon
