Lyrics
Oh the world is a mighty fine place, but it really isn’t cute
You can die a million ways, you can fall down a garbage chute
And asphyxiate upon the broken remnants of your neighbours’ broken lives
Oh the world is a mighty fine place, but nobody survives
Oh the world is a mighty fine place, but it really isn’t fair
You can try a million ways but there’s no guarantee that anyone will care
Or maybe if you’re lucky they’ll appreciate you long after you’re gone
Oh the world is a mighty fine place, but it just keeps moving on
Oh please welcome aboard, the ship is sinking
Here’s your Darwin award, what were you thinking?
Even if you can swim you’re gonna drown, drown, drown, drown
All the captain and crew are at their stations
With commemorative pins of all the nations
And they sing an old hymn, we’re going down, down, down, down
Down down down down down down down down down down down down
Oh the world is a mighty fine place, but it really isn’t straight
You can try to organize it, try to set it like a fucking dinner plate
But when your guests arrive you’ll find their table manners aren’t quite up to speed
Oh the world is a mighty fine place, but it’s gonna make you bleed
