Lyrics

There?s an old man walking down
this street of broken dreams
trying not to look drunker than he is.
Three wet stains on the front of his shirt.
He tried to be a man but it didn?t work

Chorus:
And I?m thinking, hey, oh boy,
What a goddamn wonderful world.
I?m thinking, hey, oh boy,
What a wonderful world.

A woman cuts me off.
It?s called a crosswalk, babe.
?Free Tibet? bumper sticker lets me know where she?s at.
Picture of her guru is hangin? from the rear-view mirror.
When you?re saving the world, I guess you gotta rush.

Chorus

It?s a wonderful world for me and you.
Especially if you like being blue.
Feel like one of them monkeys
you feel sorry for at the zoo.
It?s a wonderful world for me and you.

Girl works at the flower stand
I must walk by her every other day
on my way to buy pizza, coffee, or beer.
Would it kill her to smile?
Would it kill her just to look my way?
What the hell am I doing living here?

Chorus

Alarm clock squeals like a siren
every morning by the side of my bed.
And in the blink of an eye I go from heaven to hell.
Used to wake up beside you
and sometimes you?d bring me coffee in bed.
And now I can?t think of nothin? to say ?cept what?s already been said.
