Sitting On Top Of The World lyrics

Well it`s been a long day but I don`t like to moan
It`s the middle of summer and I`m chilled to the bone
There`s holes in my shoes where the rain comes in
I`m sitting on top of the world

Walking 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 sitting 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 want to lie down but there`s no beds free

Down on the corner there`s starry eyed preachers
Rattling cans and pimping Jesus
There`s madmen on boxes making speeches
I`m sitting on top of the world

You can`t sit in the sunshine or go out after dark
There`s dogs on the loose acting like sharks
There`s psychos on the streets burning winos in the park
I`m sitting on top of the world

Oh no I wish I was gone
I want to get going before too long
Oh no I want to leave town
But I 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 turning mutant they`re counting up their spoils
I`m sitting on top of the world

I turn on the TV and it makes me want to cry
There`s killing and there`s torture destruction and there`s lies
And our leaders talk rubbish and more people die
I`m sitting on top of the world

Oh no I can`t take any more
I`m shaking all over and my nerves are all raw
Oh no my head`s a little sore
I want to get out but I can`t find the door
(x2)

I`m sitting on top of the world
(To fade out)
