Backwards World - Pop Etc

I can tell it wears you out

You deserve better now

But a loss is a loss

Any old way

You play by the rules

You kept every word

But no I never heard

That you're one in the same

It's a backwards world

It's a backwards world

Upstream is forward

In a backwards world

Oh ohohoh ohohohoh ohohohoh oh

When a man gets your respect

You know it won't buy him much

So maybe it's not

Worth as much as it once was

In the total of it all

Does it matter to announce

So when I'll see myself

Damn what is it for

Yeah what is it all for

It's a backwards world

It's a backwards world

Upstream is forward

In a backwards world

Oh ohohoh ohohohoh ohohohoh oh

Oh ohohoh ohohohoh ohohohoh oh

Is this truly my fate

Pray to the lord my soul to take

Around around around

If you don't show me a sign

Then it's up to me to find

It's a backwards world

It's a backwards world

Upstream is forward

In our backwards world
