Well it's been a long day but I don't like to moan The middle of summer and I'm chilled to the bone Holes in my shoes where the rain comes in I'm sittin' on top of the world Walkin' in the shadows of empty office blocks I was talking to a stranger said, he's on the rocks Down on the pavement, living in a box I'm sittin' 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 wanna lie down but there's no beds free Down on the corner there's starry eyed preachers Rattling cans and pimpin' Jesus There's madmen on boxes making speeches I'm sittin' on top of the world You can't sit in the sunshine or go out after dark Dogs on the loose, actin' like sharks Psychos on the streets burning winos in the park I'm sittin' on top of the world Oh no, I wish I was gone I wanna get goin' before too long Oh no, I wanna leave town But 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 and the water and the soil We're all turnin' mutant, they're counting up their spoils I'm sittin' on top of the world I turn on the TV and it makes me wanna cry There's killing and there's torture, destruction and lies Leaders talk rubbish, more people die I'm sittin' on top of the world Oh no, I can't take any more I'm shakin' all over and my nerves are all raw Oh no, my head's a little sore I wanna get out but I can't find the door Oh no, I can't take any more I'm shakin' all over and my nerves are all raw Oh no, my head's a little sore Wanna get out but I can't find the door I'm sittin' on top of the world I'm sittin' on top of the world I'm sittin' on top of the world ...
