Sitting On Top Of The World Lyrics - Cbgb & Omfug Masters: The Bowery Collection: Live June 28, 2002 - The Toasters

Well it's been a long day but I don't like to moan 

It's the middle of summer and I'm chilled to the bone 

There's holes in my shoes where the rain comes in 

I'm sitting on top of the world 

Walking in the shadows of empty office blocks 

I was talking to a stranger and he's on the rocks 

Down on the pavement living in a box 

I'm sitting on top of the world 

Oh no can't anybody see 

It's been a bad day and I want a little peace 

Oh no won't you please help me 

I want to lie down but there's no beds free 

Down on the corner there's starry eyed preachers 

Rattling cans and pimping Jesus 

There's madmen on boxes makig speeches 

I'm sitting on top of the world

You can't sit in the sunshine or go out after dark 

There's dogs on the loose acting like sharks 

There's psychos on the streets burning winos in the park 

I'm sitting on top of the world 

Oh no I wish I was gone 

I want to get going before too long 

Oh no I want to leave town 

But I can't drive my car 'cause they put it in the pound 

The masters of industry are killing for oil 

There's poison in the air the water and the soil 

We're all turning mutant they're counting up their spoils 

I'm sitting on top of the world 

I turn on the TV and it makes me want to cry 

There's killing and there's torture there's destruction and there's lies 

And our leaders talk rubbish and more people die 

I'm sitting on top of the world

Oh no I can't take anymore 

I'm shaking all over and my nerves are all raw 

Oh no my head's a little sore 

I want to get out but I can't find the door
