World Weary

When I'm feeling dreary and blue

I'm only too glad to be left alone

Dreaming of a place in the sun

When day is done

Far from the telephone

Bustle of the weary crowd

Make me wanna cry out loud

Give me something peaceful and grand

Where all the land, slumbers in monotone

I'm world weary, world weary

Living in a great big town

I find it so dreary, so dreary

Everything looks grey or brown

I want an ocean blue

Great big trees

A bird's eye view of the Pyrenees

I wanna watch the moon rise up

And see the great red sun go down

Watching clouds go by

Through a wintry sky

Fascinates me

But if I'm standing in the street

Everyone I meet

Simply hates me

Because I'm world weary, world weary

I could kiss the railroad tracks

I wanna get right back to nature

And relax

Get up in the morning at eight

Relentless fate

Drives me to work at nine

Toiling like a bee in a hive

From four to five

Whether it's wet or fine

Hardly ever see the sky

Buildings seem to grow so high

Maybe in the future I will

Perhaps fulfill

This little dream of mine

I'm world weary, world weary

Living in a great big town

I find it so dreary, so dreary

Everything looks grey or brown

I want a horse and plow

Chickens too

Just one cow

With a wishful moo

A country where the verb to work

Becomes a most improper noun

I can hardly wait

Till I see the great

Open spaces

My loving friends will not be there

I'm so sick of their

Goddamn faces

Because I'm world weary, world weary

Tired of all these jumping jacks

I wanna get right back to nature

I wanna get right back to nature

And relax
