World Comin’ Down

(Billy Idol/Brian Tichy)

For the kids in the schools
And the teachers are fools
And you just want to break

Well you’re close to the edge
And you’re pissed at your work
And the boss is a jerk

From promises to preacher
And nothing is Nietzche
And I can’t stand the church

I can have my opinion
And I don’t want to win ya
Now I just have to work… alright!

[Chorus:]
I feel the whole world comin’
Down on me
I feel the whole world comin’
Down on me

Well the judge and the jury
They thought they could school me
And teach me the value of thrift

They put me inside on a one ta five
And I just had to quit
Well early in the morning
When we are balling
I nearly had a fit
It came to my head
And I just had to say
Ain’t gonna be nobody’s bitch

[Chorus]

Comin’ down
Down on me
It’s comin’ down
It’s comin’ down, down, down on me

There’s only one thing
That I can do now
Go lie in the sun
I want to soak up the rays
And burn myself black
‘Cos cancer day has come
And everything you do
To protect yourself
Well it ain’t gonna happen right
You junky pimps
And Mother-fucking whores
Enjoy yourself tonight… alright!

[Chorus]

Comin’ down
Down on me
It’s comin’ down
It’s comin’ down, down, down on me

Comin’ down
Down on me
It’s comin’ down
It’s comin’ down, down, down
I feel the whole world
Comin’ down, comin’ down on me
I feel the whole world
Comin’ down, comin’ down on me
I feel the whole world
Comin’ down, comin’ down on me
I feel the whole world
Comin’ down!

Down on me
It’s comin’ down
It’s comin’ down, down, down on me
