[Verse 1]
It's said history repeats itself, well that is nothing new
But somewhere in the scheme of things one learns an awful truth
[Chorus]
All the disappointment of the world...
All the disappointment of the world...
[Verse 2]
Life is a strict teacher
Whose lessons must be learned;
And optimists turn pessimists after experience
[Chorus]
All the disappointment of the world...
All the disappointment of the world...
[Bridge]
Try to understand
No matter what you plan
You'll never get what you demand
[Chorus]
All the disappointment of the world...
All the disappointment of the world...
[Bridge]
Try to understand
No matter what you plan
You'll never get what you demand
[Verse 3]
Betwixt and between
Nightmare and dream
It's really as bad as it seems
[Chorus x2]
All the disappointment of the world...
All the disappointment of the world...
