Way Of The World Lyrics
Written by Susan Cowsill & Vicki PetersonMain Voice: VICKI & SUSANProduced by Continental Drifters & Mike MayeuxReleased on 'Vermilion' (1999)There's a mean wind blowin' this wayEveryone thinks it's okayThe common law is lowest of allSo why do we laugh when we watch someone else take a fall.It's the way of the worldSay a prayer and it all comes trueCross your heart, hold your breath, touch the wallYou might make it throughOh Lord, please let the landing gears come downIt's a cry in the darkAnd you know you don't make a soundIt's the way of the world.Like a good soldier marking my timeI got my reward, it was mineCut off my hair and burned down my homeSold my voice to the devilAnd all I got left was alone.It's the way of the worldSay a prayer and it all comes trueCross your heart, hold your breath, touch the wallYou might make it throughOh Lord, please let the landing gears come downIt's a cry in the darkAnd you know you don't make a soundIt's the way of the worldIt's the way of the world.What were you expectingWhat were you expectingWhat were you expectingWhat did you have planned.I know a woman, she's so very smallHas nothing to say so she speaks for us allLooking for love and karmic reliefAn act of contrition heals everythingThat's her belief.It's the way of the worldSay a prayer and it all comes trueCross your heart, hold your breath, touch the wallYou might make it throughOh Lord, please let the landing gears come downIt's a cry in the darkAnd you know you don't make a soundIt's the way of the worldIt's the way of the world.What were you expecting(It's the way of the world I'll say a prayer for you)What were you expecting(It's the way of the world and it'll all come true)What were you expecting(It's the way of the world)It's not what you had planned.
