What Kind Of World Lyrics - What Kind Of World - Brendan Benson

I'm just tryin' to get something started. 

Been so low and so downhearted. 

Haven't seen my friends in awhile 

and I never laugh and hardly ever smile. 

It's a deep-seeded knee-jerk reaction. 

Without fail the same course of action. 

And it's the truth but it's always sugar-coated. 

And the starting gun is never loaded. 

I take it too hard, I take it to heart. 

What kind of world? What kind of world? 

You take me apart before I can start. 

What kind of world? 

I'm still trying to figure something out. 

I shoot 'em down and I shut them out. 

All my efforts just ricochet 

off these walls that are put in my way. 

And every word like a stray bullet. 

Put my finger on the trigger and pull it. 

I take it too hard, I take it to heart. 

What kind of world? What kind of world? 

You take me apart before I can start. 

What kind of world? 

I take it too hard, I take it to heart. 

What kind of world? What kind of world? 

You take me apart before I can ... 

And I've looked without luck for the cure. 

It's a condition that responds behavior. 

A symbol of appreciation. 

It's a thimble full of motivation. 

So looked over, so underrated. 

Every move proves to be ill fated. 

Never stray. Always stay in focus. 

When every gesture goes unnoticed. 

I take it too hard, I take it to heart. 

What kind of world? What kind of world? 

You take me apart before I can start. 

What kind of world? 

I take it too hard, I take it to heart. 

What kind of world? What kind of world? 

You take me apart before I can start. 

What kind of world?
