What's the World Come To
Zak Belica Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What′s the world come to
When everything's going the way of the gun
What′s the world come to
If life is a shadow of what has been done

I want you to know
Don't take it slow
Just come undone
And the sin will take hold
I can't hold it back
It′s too much to ask
You know the way
You′re up to the task
But please don't tell us same

What′s the world come to
When bullets are all that you can undestand
What's the world come to
When all that I touch will leave blood on my hands

I want you to know
Don′t take it slow
Just come undone
And the sin will take hold
I can't hold it back
It′s too much to ask
You know the way
You're up to the task
But please don't tell us same

What′s the world come to

What′s it all come to
Nothing to see through
It's all been spoken
Shattered and broken
Give it to me





Don′t tell me
What's the world come to

In the words of James Willems, this is the best James Bond theme song ever.

Sounds a lot like Garbage, doesn't it?

Hey look at that: I'm not the only one who still remembers this game. Shame that MumboJumbo screwed us and we'll never see Episode 2.

Does kind of sound like Garbage's The World is Not Enough, doesn't it

and fun fact: The singer of Garbage, Shirley Manson, also had red hair like Blade's sidekick (even if it wasn't naturally red).

@Garfieldcommander

Иногда напеваю эту песню просто так посреди дня.
