Teen Angst
Cracker Lyrics

I don't know what the world may need
I am uncertain about what the world requires.

But I'm sure as hell that is starts with me
Nevertheless, I am confident that the change begins with me.

And that's a wisdom, I've laughed at
I have ridiculed this idea in the past.

I don't know what the world may want
I also do not understand what the world desires.

But a good stiff drink it surely don't
However, I am convinced that alcohol is not the solution.

So I think I'll go and fix myself a tall one
Instead of drinking, I will find a way to solve my problems.

'Cause, what the world needs now
The world requires something new.

Is a new kind of tension
It needs a fresh source of excitement.

'Cause the old one just bores me to death
The previous tension is monotonous and uninteresting.

'Cause, what the world needs now
Once more, the world needs something fresh.

Is another folk singer
But not another folk singer.

Like I need a hole in my head
I do not need that, and neither does the world.

But a V8 engine is a good start for me
A powerful engine might help me get going.

Think I'll drive to find a place, to be surly
I might drive somewhere to be moody and ill-tempered.

But some words of wisdom could comfort us
Words of guidance can be soothing during the tough times.

Think I'll leave that up to someone wiser
I will let someone more knowledgeable than me provide that wisdom.

'Cause, what the world needs now
For the third time, the world needs something new.

Are some true words of wisdom
Sincere advice can help the world.

Like La la la la la la la la la la
Such guidance could be accompanied by harmonious singing.

'Cause, what the world needs now
Again, the world is in search of something new.

Is another folk singer
But, yet again, another folk singer is not it.

Like I need a hole in my head
Neither do I need that nor the world.

And I never grasped your complexities
I could never understand the intricacies of your character.

I'd be happy just to get your attention
But I would be content if you noticed me.

But your long, sweet body lying next
However, your lovely, lengthy figure by my side.

To mine could certainly raise my spirits
Would undoubtedly raise my mood.

'Cause what the world needs now
For the fourth and final time, the world requires something.

Is a new Frank Sinatra
The world believes that a new Frank Sinatra could help.

So I can get you in bed
And with Sinatra's help, I might be able to seduce you.

What the world needs now
Yet again, the world requires something.

Is another folk singer
And yet again, a new folk singer is not it.

Like I need a hole in my head, head, head
I do not require that, and neither does the world. Repeated to emphasize the point.

What the world needs now
One final time, the world requires something.

Is a new Frank Sinatra
Once again, the world believes that a new Frank Sinatra could help.

So I can get you in bed
And with Sinatra's help, I might be able to seduce you. Repeated for emphasis.
