Lyrics

The world is a beautiful place

The world is perceived as beautiful.

Even though I don't like it sometimes

Despite occasional dislike, there's acknowledgment of the world's beauty.

Seeing what ya get

Observing reality for what it is.

Ya don't know what you're expecting

Uncertainty about expectations, not knowing what lies ahead.

You're waiting on the things

Anticipation for things previously rejected.

That I know you've been rejecting

Recognition of rejected elements.

The world is a beautiful place

Reiteration of the world's beauty despite occasional dislike.

Even though I don't like it sometimes

Reaffirmation of conflicting feelings toward the world.


The world is a funny place

Labeling the world as a funny place.

Even though it makes me sad sometimes

Sadness coexists with the humor found in the world.

Seeing what you'll get

Uncertainty about outcomes.

You don't know what to expect

Not knowing what to expect.

But you're in the game

Active participation in life's challenges.

So you know you can't complain

Acknowledging the inevitability of challenges in the game of life.

The world is a funny place

Reiteration of the world's humorous nature.

Even though it makes me sad sometimes

Sadness coexists with the humor found in the world.

It makes me sad sometimes

Repetition of the emotional impact of the world.

Oh it makes me sad sometimes

-

It makes me sad sometimes

-

And my heart goes out to the winners of lotteries

Sympathy expressed for lottery winners despite personal loss.

They drive home in the sun

Lottery winners enjoy success but cause personal pain.

But take another piece of me

A metaphorical loss endured by the speaker.


The world is a crazy place

Characterizing the world as crazy and overwhelming.

And I just can't take it sometimes

Expressing difficulty in coping with the world at times.

You're ever in a rush

Feeling rushed and uncertain about outcomes.

You don't know what to expect

Uncertainty about what to expect.

And even in the mud

Even in challenging situations, maintaining composure.

You can't get that upset

Not letting mud (difficulties) lead to excessive upset.

The world is a funny place

Reiteration of the world's humorous nature.

Even if it makes me sad sometimes

Sadness coexists with the humor found in the world.

Oh it makes me sad sometimes

Repetition of the emotional impact of the world.

Oh it makes me sad sometimes

-

Oh it makes me sad sometimes
