Sad, Sad World

Sad, Sad World is a track on My Paper Made Men and the B Side to Furniture



Lyrics
Come say hello to me

When you’re in town

I know you’re crazy about me

And want me around

You move in closer

When you should run away

A little rabbit in my hunting game

And I got perfect aim

What a sad, sad world it is

When we take pleasure in others’ demise

And in this sad, sad world we live

We push down others to stay alive

Flattery has me endeared to you

As any flesh and blood would

You say you’d be good to me

Well so you should

I’m not that girl anymore

She went away

Now I’m the one with the game

And I won’t be played

What a sad, sad world it is

When we delight in spinning our lies

And in this sad, sad world we live

We kick and spit just to stay alive

Oh what a sad, sad world it is yeah

What a sad, sad world it is yeah

Oh what a sad, sad world yeah

Ssshhh

But when it comes that I get tired of games

Will you still be around

I think you know that when the light is shined below

Then you will see

The monster that I am

You will run away

They always do

I might keep you around

If you behave

I like you crawling

My little boy slave

What a sad, sad world it is

When we’re excited by somebody’s pain

And in this sad, sad world we live

I’m in the middle I’m not afraid

Oh what a sad, sad world yeah

What a sad, sad world

What a sad, sad world it is

Yeah

Ssshhh
