You know you're in a state
When the a**hole rules the world
And the nice guy doesn't bother
because he knows he'll only finish last
Look at the world today
It's not a nice place to play
No one seems to have control
There's fighting here and there
And bombings everywhere
And no one seems to give a damn
You know you're in a state
When the a**hole rules the world
And the nice guy doesn't bother
because he knows he'll only finish last
The a**hole rules the world
And the nice guy doesn't bother
because he knows he'll only finish last
Like children in a row
They'll fight and argue so
And that's the way the system goes
And neither side can see
Though it's clear to you and me
That no one seems to have control
You know you're in a state
When the a**hole rules the world
And the nice guy doesn't bother
because he knows he'll only finish last
The a**hole rules the world
And the nice guy doesn't bother
because he knows he'll only finish last
Time and time again
The same things repeating themselves
Time and time again
The same things repeating themselves
Time and time again
The same things repeating themselves
Time and time again
The same things repeating themselves
And it's always been that way
