Sorry about the weather
You say it? s rainin? there all the time
Readin? in your letter
I say you give it a little while
Sorry about the money
You say you barely are gettin? by
And nothin? is gettin? better
You know you? re lucky to be alive
Sorry about the children
Livin? in third world countries man
Supposedly the governments out
Doin? what they can
Sorry about the little wars
That don? t ever seem to end
Killin? off young American boys
Just as fast as we can send? em over
Can you see exactly where you stand
Do you got the answers in your hand
I? m sorry for singin? that nothing is
Bringin? us together
I? m sorry for dreamin? but mostly
I? m sorry for you
And I? m sorry about the weather
Sorry about the helpless ones
That just won? t help themselves
The world is full of dreamers
Puttin? their dreams up on the shelves
Sorry about the racist fools
That don? t believe in love
Sorry about the heroes
Usin? guns instead of gloves
Sorry about pollution
Fillin? up your crazy little world
I haven? t got a solution right now
But I? ll give it a whirl
All you need is a little time
To see exactly where you stand
And I? m sorry to say
I think these problems are all way out of hand
I? m sorry for singin?
That nothing is bringin? us together
I? m sorry for dreamin?
But mostly I? m sorry for you
And I? m sorry about the weather
Can you see exactly where you stand
Do you got the answers in your hand
Sorry about the weather
You say it? s rainin? there all the time
Readin? it in your letter
I say give it a little while now
