Mean Old World Lyrics - Robert Palmer

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
