02) World Comin' Down
Billy Idol Lyrics

For the kids in the schools
The youth attending schools are facing many issues

And the teachers are fools
Their educators are not providing them with the guidance they need

And you just want to break
You are overwhelmed and desire to escape

Well you're close to the edge
You are on the brink of losing control

And you're pissed at your work
You are unhappy with your job

And the boss is a jerk
Your supervisor is unpleasant and unreasonable

From promises to preacher
People have gone from making commitments to following religious leaders

And nothing is Nietzche
Nothing is about individuality and self-expression

And I can't stand the church
The traditional religious institution is not valued

I can have my opinion
I am entitled to my own beliefs

And I don't want to win ya
I am not seeking approval from others

Now I just have to work alright!
Now, I just need to focus on getting things done

I feel the whole world comin'
I am overwhelmed by the weight of the world

Down on me
I feel like the world's problems are directly affecting me

Well the judge and the jury
The legal system is against me

They thought they could school me
They believed they could teach me a lesson

And teach me the value of thrift
They wanted to show me the importance of being thrifty

They put me inside on a one to five
They put me in jail for a certain amount of time

And I just had to quit
I was unable to handle the situation and had to give up

Well early in the morning
At the start of the day

When we are balling
When we are living carefree and enjoying ourselves

I nearly had a fit
I was nearly driven to the point of breaking down

It came to my head
I had a realization

And I just had to say
I had to speak my mind

Ain't gonna be nobody's bitch
I refuse to be subordinate to anyone else

There's only one thing
There is only one option left

That I can do now
The only thing left for me is

Go lie in the sun
Relax in the sunshine

I want to soak up the rays
I want to absorb the sun's energy

And burn myself black
I want to get a deep tan

'Cause cancer day has come
Regardless of precautions, I may still get cancer

And everything you do
Taking preventive measures won't help

To protect yourself
To ensure one's safety

Well it ain't gonna happen right
It won't always work

You junky pimps
People who exploit others for profit

And Mother-fucking whores
People who use sex for financial gain

Enjoy yourself tonight alright!
Have fun and don't worry about the consequences

It's comin' down
The world's problems are worsening

It's comin' down, down, down on me
The world's problems are directly affecting me in a negative way
