It`s a world of random violence
Arrogance and blindness
Ambition and greed
Nothin` much is sacred
Prayer fuels hatred
Like fire ignites gasoline
Terrorism`s a sensation
A popular vocation
Of the youth it perverts
Fundamentalist religion
Kills all rational decision
And is it really God`s word
Or just cold-blooded murder
The world just is what it is
What`s it ever gonna be but this
The world just is what it is
World just is what it is
World just is

False gods and true believers
Politicians and deceivers
Lawyers and thieves
Corporate thugs in ivory towers
Addicted to power
It`s a common disease
Of avarice and apathy
The world just is what it is
What`s it ever gonna be but this
The world just is what it is
World just is what it is

World just is� what it is

Among the dust and ruin
Are diamonds in the ashes
And flowers in the weeds
Young souls in soiled linen
Of smiling dirty faces
Who dare to believe
In miracles and incredible things
The world just is what it is
What`s it ever gonna be but this
The world just is what it is
World just is
