The World Is Round
Crooked Realities: Unveiling the Round World's Shadows
Lyrics
The world is round
The world is spherical in shape.
But it's crooked just the same, yeah, yeah
Despite its round shape, it is flawed or corrupted in some ways.
I know the world is round
Reiterating the fact that the world is round.
But it's crooked just the same, yeah, yeah
Reaffirming that despite being round, it's flawed or corrupted.
And you'll never, never know
People won't ever truly understand or pinpoint the exact cause of these flaws.
Just what man there is to blame, yeah, yeah
The responsible party for the world's flaws is ambiguous or unknown.
Wait a minute
Introducing a pause or interjection before conveying a message.
I want to tell you something
Expressing the intent to communicate something important.
Cause there's the teacher
Listing different societal roles or archetypes such as teachers, preachers, and gamblers.
The preacher, gamblin' man
These societal roles contribute to the complexities of the world.
Dark side will make it
The darker aspects or negative influences find an easy path to success.
On a easy plan
There's an association between the dark side and an effortless plan.
Lawyer, doctor
Mentioning occupations like lawyers and doctors, emphasizing the diversity of influential roles.
Even town breaker
Even those who break the law hold significant influence.
I'm tryin' to keep up
Struggling to keep pace or match the actions of the undertaker (symbolizing death).
With the undertaker
A struggle to keep up with mortality.
Chauffeur's runnin' around
Chauffeurs seeking relationships while still being desired by women.
With them still knockin' for girls
People in various roles remain appealing to others.
Drummer in the band
A musician accustomed to the world's ways.
Been this way to the world
Experienced and adapted to the world's challenges.
We just end up pooping
Individuals end up struggling or having a difficult time.
Jumpin' up and down
Engaging in futile or unproductive activities.
Sisters in the corner
Women in a marginalized position, possibly limited in opportunities.
I'm Alabama bound
Feeling confined or tied to a particular place or situation.
The world is round, round, round, round
Reiterating the roundness of the world.
But it's crooked just the same, yeah, yeah
Despite its round shape, it's still flawed or corrupted.
And you never, never know
Emphasizing the uncertainty of identifying the cause of these flaws.
Just what man there is to blame, no, no
Reiterating the ambiguity in assigning blame for the world's flaws.
I know, you know, they know
Asserting that there's a general awareness among people about the world's roundness.
That the world is round
Confirming the widespread knowledge of the world being round.
I know you know, everybody know
Asserting that everyone acknowledges the roundness of the world.
That the world is round
Reaffirming the spherical shape of the world.
The world is round, oh, yeah
Reiterating the roundness of the world with emphasis.
The world is round
Concluding statement reaffirming the spherical shape of the world.
