Way Of The World Lyrics - Continental Drifters

There's a mean wind blowin' this way 

Everyone thinks it's okay 

The common law is lowest of all 

So why do we laugh when we watch 

Someone else take a fall? 

It's the way of the world 

Say a prayer and it all comes true 

Cross your heart, hold your breath 

Touch the wall you might make it through 

Oh Lord, please let the landing 

Gears come down, it's a cry in the dark 

And you know you don't make a sound 

It's the way of the world 

Like a good soldier marking my time 

I got my reward, it was mine 

Cut off my hair and burned down my home 

Sold my voice to the devil 

And all I got left was alone 

It's the way of the world 

Say a prayer and it all comes true 

Cross your heart, hold your breath 

Touch the wall you might make it through 

Oh Lord, please let the landing 

Gears come down, it's a cry in the dark 

And you know you won't make a sound 

It's the way of the world, it's the way of the world 

What were you expecting? 

What were you expecting? 

What were you expecting? 

What did you have planned? 

I know a woman, she's so very small 

Has nothing to say so she speaks for us all 

Looking for love and karmic relief 

An act of contrition heals everything 

That's her belief 

It's the way of the world 

Say a prayer and it all comes true 

Cross your heart, hold your breath 

Touch the wall, you might make it through 

Oh Lord, please let the landing 

Gears come down, it's a cry in the dark 

And you know you don't make a sound 

It's the way of the world, it's the way of the world 

What were you expecting? 

(It's the way of the world, say a prayer for you) 

What were you expecting? 

(It's the way of the world and it'll all come true) 

What were you expecting? 

(It's the way of the world, it's not what you have planned)
