IT'S A SORRY WORLD
Tim Wilson
Wilson
1999, Capitol Records
Snare Drum Intro
GYou can go to war when your 18
But, Cyou can't buy a beer
GYou can launch missles from a submarine
But, you Acan't buy a pistol, Dhere
You can Gbreathe chemical weapon fumes
But, Cthey don't want you to smoke
So, when you're Gshootin' up a car in Baghdad
Don't Dorder a Rum & GCoke
GYou can have sex when you're 17
You just Ccan't have a cigarette
You ain't Gold enough for a slot-machine
Or to Alay down a football Dbet
But, they'll Gtake you at the clinic when you're 15
And your Cfolks don't have to know
Or you can Gtake Penicillin
Just don't watch people gettin' Dnaked on vide Go
CYou can be governor at at 21
Or a Gpresident at 35
You can be the senator from South Carolina
If Ayou can just stay al Dive
They'll Gthrow you in with sharks when your 12 years old
And Cteach you to scubadive
But, when you're G94, and can't see anymore more
DThey'll still let you Gdrive
Just Cdon't get caught with no beer in your hand
If Gyou just turned 18
They don't mind you ownin' a big old torch
And a Agallon of gasol Dine
You just Gcan't buy smokes at the liquor store
Or Cya'll will both go to jail
But, they'll Gsell you the rope
So you can hang yourself
While you're Dlistenin' to Nine Inch DNails
It's a Gsorry world
It's a sorry world
It's a sorry world when Cyou can raise youngens
But, you Dcan't smoke a Marlbor Go
It's a Gsorry world
It's a sorry world
It's a sorry world when you're C17
But, you Dcan't call a call-girlG

Snare Drum Intro

You can go to war when your 18

But, you can't buy a beer

You can launch missles from a submarine

A D

But, you can't buy a pistol, here

You can breathe chemical weapon fumes

But, they don't want you to smoke

So, when you're shootin' up a car in Baghdad

D G

Don't order a Rum & Coke

You can have sex when you're 17

You just can't have a cigarette

You ain't old enough for a slot-machine

A D

Or to lay down a football bet

But, they'll take you at the clinic when you're 15

And your folks don't have to know

Or you can take Penicillin

D G

Just don't watch people gettin' naked on vide o

You can be governor at at 21

Or a president at 35

You can be the senator from South Carolina

A D

If you can just stay al ive

They'll throw you in with sharks when your 12 years old

And teach you to scubadive

But, when you're 94, and can't see anymore more

D G

They'll still let you drive

Just don't get caught with no beer in your hand

If you just turned 18

They don't mind you ownin' a big old torch

A D

And a gallon of gasol ine

You just can't buy smokes at the liquor store

Or ya'll will both go to jail

But, they'll sell you the rope

So you can hang yourself

D D

While you're listenin' to Nine Inch Nails

It's a sorry world

It's a sorry world when you can raise youngens

D G

But, you can't smoke a Marlbor o

It's a sorry world

It's a sorry world when you're 17

D G

But, you can't call a call-girl
