I tip my head back and I'm staring at the stars
Just pissing this night away
I've been praying for something from above to come down and save me
It's been a long one, working for the man all day
It's been a long one, dying just to get away
Well, it's a roll of the dice, your luck's finally run
You're picking your lucky numbers 'cause you're lucky number one
Digging into your pocket, scraping, scraping every hole
For the things that you wanted, here at the pump, oh
You belong to them, in your own mind
You got to break your back to break even most every time
Workdays, weekdays, weak plays
Now something's gotta change before you go insane
And you know (it's a big bad world)
That it goes on and on and on and on
You know (it's a big bad world)
That it goes on and on, the same old song
You know (it's a big bad world)
That it goes on and on, and it's the same old song
There's nothing you can do to break your back in two
But you just can't quit
So you work, and you play
And you break your back for another day
In this big bad world
Well, it's a big bad world
And you work, and you play
And you break your back for another day
In this big bad world
Well, it's a big bad world
Well, it's a toss-up, all around the world
The suit and tie boss droppin' some blue collar crock
Placed in regular sweatshops
It's a new game they play that goes around the old clock
But what's the difference when you're running around
And you're trying to get ahead? Stop!
Twenty bucks at the pump, hey
Twenty bucks more the same day
Twenty bucks at the pump, hey hey
They got you going crazy
Welcome to the party, break your back at the front door
Check your checks and wallet, party at the pump, oh
And you know (it's a big bad world)
That it goes on and on and on and on
You know (it's a big bad world)
That it goes on and on, the same old song
You know (it's a big bad world)
That it goes on and on, and it's the same old song
There's nothing you can do to break your back in two
But you just can't quit
So you work, and you play
And you break your back for another day
In this big bad world
Well, it's a big bad world
And you work, and you play
And you break your back for another day
In this big bad world
Well, it's a big bad world
Whoa, whoa, yeah, oh, yeah
So you work, and you play
And you break your back for another day
We're in this big bad world
Well, it's a big bad world
No more work, no more play
Don't wanna break my back for another day
In this big bad world
It's a big bad world
La-dee-da, la-da, da-dee-da
La-da-dee-da, la-da, da-dee-da
La-da-dee-da, la-da, da-dee-da
La-da-dee-da, la-da, da-dee-da
No more work (work), no more play (play)
Don't wanna break my back for one more day
In this big bad world
Well, it's a big bad world
We're all waiting for that new day to come
