Lyric Sitting On Top Of The World

Well it s been a long day but I don t like to moan
It s the middle of summer and I m chilled to the bone
There s holes in my shoes where the rain comes in
I m sitting on top of the world

Walking in the shadows of empty office blocks
I was talking to a stranger and he s on the rocks
Down on the pavement living in a box
I m sitting on top of the world

Oh no can t anybody see
It s been a bad day and I want a little peace

Oh no won t you please help me
I want to lie down but there s no beds free

Down on the corner there s starry eyed preachers
Rattling cans and pimping Jesus
There s madmen on boxes makig speeches
I m sitting on top of the world

You can t sit in the sunshine or go out after dark
There s dogs on the loose acting like sharks
There s psychos on the streets burning winos in the park
I m sitting on top of the world

Oh no I wish I was gone
I want to get going before too long

Oh no I want to leave town
But I can t drive my car cause they put it in the pound

The masters of industry are killing for oil
There s poison in the air the water and the soil
We re all turning mutant they re counting up their spoils
I m sitting on top of the world

I turn on the TV and it makes me want to cry
There s killing and there s torture there s destruction and there s lies
And our leaders talk rubbish and more people die
I m sitting on top of the world

Oh no I can t take anymore
I m shaking all over and my nerves are all raw

Oh no my head s a little sore
I want to get out but I can t find the door
