It's a Beautiful World - Tony Carey

I begged

I borrowed

I stole

My soul was for sale

So that we could belong

And taste the finer things

The things that only winning brings

I knew we would get there all alone

We crawled

We said «Yes, Sir» and «No, Sir»

And closer we came

To the magic and the gold

I learned how to laugh

How to lie

Look them right in the eye

I saw people bought and people sold

We where keepin' the tigers away

Keepin' the tigers away

Hiding from the real thing

That always comes some day

Keepin' the tigers

Keepin' the tigers away

And then one day you ask

«Is that all there is»

It all goes by so fast

There’s the house and the car and the kids

And your finaly see the world for what it really is

You were keepin' the tigers away

Keepin' the tigers away

Hiding from the real thing

That always comes some day

Keepin' the tigers

Keepin' the tigers away
