EELS LYRICS - Rotten World Blues

"Rotten World Blues"



Well i went walking

Out yesterday

A man was carrying a sign that says

"the world is gonna end tomorrow"

Hey buddy, got a nickel i can borrow?



This rotten world's gonna chew you up

Swallow you whole and then spit you back out

The sooner you recognize this simple fact

Then this rotten world gives you what you lack



Ol' miss headtrip

She's gettin' down

You don't see her much walking 'round town

Well you could say that she needs a little lovin'

Looking for a light with her head in the oven



This rotten world's gonna chew you up

Swallow you whole and then spit you back out

The sooner you recognize this simple fact

Then this rotten world gives you what you lack



Miss kovaleva

She's lookin' good

Walkin' her ass through the neighborhood

She knows something that you don't know

Something she learned about a long time ago



This rotten world's gonna chew you up

Swallow you whole and then spit you back out

The sooner you recognize this simple fact

Then this rotten world gives you what you lack



This rotten world's gonna chew you up

Swallow you whole and then spit you back out
