Robert Palmer - Mean Old World lyrics

(andy fraser) Look around, my brother There's a world at your command You'd realize it If you'd only lift your head up from your hands Sail away from your troubles Free as a bird up in the sky Paradise is waiting in your mind Ain't no use sat complaining Woman, that life don't go our way Idly wishing that tomorrow Will come save us from today Being tired of living with no money in your hand Trying to find someone to understand It's a mean ol' world But it's up to us To make it heaven, here and now It's a mean ol' world But it's up to us To make it heaven, here and now So come on, let's get together Sharing in love and happiness Dah etc, whooo etc Yeah it's a mean ol' world But it's up to us To make it heaven, here and now Whooo etc, dana dana etc
