When The World’s Got you Down words and music by Chris Gangi and Kris Nowak Well it takes all you got just to stay on your feet When you’re alone on the ground It seems like years since you found a friend When the world’s got you down And the people you meet get stranger in time As the world spins around The chances you take are one’s that will break When the world’s got you down When the world’s got you down (x4) I haven’t seen you smile in a long long time and your silence abounds The grass grows greener or so they say my friend Since the world brought you down You can keep climbing but the hill never ends And you feel you’ll never be found The sky is gray and the dusk never fades Since the world brought you down Since the world brought you down (x4) You feel like this world’s a wonderful place But someone’s locked you out I’m sure you can’t see that someone is you Cause the world dragged you down I think you should learn to think for yourself And pick yourself up off the ground I hope you know how but you’re so tightly wound Cause the world dragged you down When the world’s dragged you down (x4) All that is left is a footprint of sand In an empty old town And the sign on the wall points to nowhere at all When the world’s got you down Buildings are burned, and the streets are all bare All the leaves have turned to brown And the end of the line seem so far from here When the world’s got you down When the world’s got you down (x4)
