Rotten World Blues

Eels

Well I went walking

Out yesterday

A man was carrying a sign that says

the world is gonna end tomorrow

Hey buddy, got a nickel I can borrow?

This rotten world's gonna chew you up

Swallow you whole and then spit you back out

The sooner you recognize this simple fact

Then this rotten world gives you what you lack

Ol' miss headtrip

She's gettin' down

You don't see her much walking 'round town

Well you could say that she needs a little lovin'

Looking for a light with her head in the oven

This rotten world's gonna chew you up

Swallow you whole and then spit you back out

The sooner you recognize this simple fact

Then this rotten world gives you what you lack

Miss kovaleva

She's lookin' good

Walkin' her ass through the neighborhood

She knows something that you don't know

Something she learned about a long time ago

This rotten world's gonna chew you up

Swallow you whole and then spit you back out

The sooner you recognize this simple fact

Then this rotten world gives you what you lack

This rotten world's gonna chew you up

Swallow you whole and then spit you back out
