Lyrics

Way of the World
Words and Music by P.R. Villalobos, Copyright 2003

Making his way to the top of the world.
Selling his soul for a beautiful girl.
Sometimes it's rough it's enough to survive,
God only knows he was buried alive.

Chorus:
It's the way of the world, it's an ugly game.
it’s the way of the world, sometimes beauty brings pain.

Selling herself for the things of this world.
Hoping to score just one string of pearls.
Living it up the American dream.
She's learning to lie and she's learning to scheme.

Chorus:
It's the way of the world, it's an ugly game.
It’s the way of the world, sometimes beauty brings pain.
Killing themselves for the things of this world, got their eye on a car and a house on a hill. Pride in their eyes but you know it won't last, the money's all gone but the bill's coming fast.

Ending Chorus:
You take what you want when you want it,
You take what you need when you need it,
You take what you crave, when you've got it,
You can't - take it with you when you leave here.
