Bob Vylan Sick Sad World Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ooo, it's getting scary outside
I sit indoors and watch the TV, feeling barely alive
Can't afford to feed ourselves but they're feeding us lies
No money in the bank, but you see the food bank line?
The line's around the block, horror shock, shocking to find
I can't afford my weekly shopping 'cause the costs on the rise
The road is long, I missed the turn, it's a sign of the times
Keir's smiling on the news, as if everything is fine
There's a major malfunction, how's this whole thing wired?
I got some priors on my name, they said I can't get hired
I watch the BBC's liеs, think I'm losing my mind
Hooray, it's 2025, get a job in the mines
[Chorus]
Yеah, it's a sick, sad world
Yeah, it's a sick, sad world
Yeah, it's a sick, sad world
Yeah, it's a sick, sad world [Verse 2]
I see the pig is in his shit, stealing what isn't his
Take a life or take some innocence, the jury acquits
Nobody's safe, these sickos even target women and kids
The bad apple leaves a sour taste, the remedy is
To cut the whole tree down, if not now then when?
It happens again and again, then again and again
Relying on Reform, you see how much money they spend?
And still lying when their colleague puts a life to an end

[Chorus]
Yeah, it's a sick, sad world
Yeah, it's a sick, sad world
Yeah, it's a sick, sad world
Yeah, it's a sick, sad world

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Yeah, it's a sick, sad world
Yeah, it's a sick, sad world
Yeah, it's a sick, sad world
Yeah, it's a sick, sad world
