[Tom MacDonald - If I Ran the World lyrics]
I don't run the world 'cause I'd
Get killed for what I do
I'd be real with all the people
I'd tell everyone the truth
I don't run the world 'cause if I did
I'd spit the facts not everyone is evil
But the world's gone mad
I've been anxious, depressed, I'm exhausted
In my tank, nothing left but a droplet
In my head, all I see is their comments
Skeletons falling out the closet
Turning on the TV
All I see is armies and rockets
The radio pumping out garbage
The whole world's forgotten what
We have in common
Everyone headed for a coffin, damn
We cling to our crosses
Praying for a break and some
Change in our pockets
Praying to a prophet for profit's
Is really not an option
It proves that humans don't really
Understand what god is
Abusing drugs from our doctors
Accusing our fathers of racism often
It's awful
We've gotten so caught in the problems
Forgot it's on us to go
Fight till we solve 'em
I don't run the world 'cause I'd
Get killed for what I do
I'd be real with all the people
I'd tell everyone the truth
I don't run the world, but if I did
I'd spit the facts not everyone is evil
But the world's gone mad
I've been tired, I've been sick
But I'm hopeful
We can stop being anti-social
It's like the whole damn
Planet in a chokehold
Too afraid to put their phones
Away and be vocal open up our Twitters
Our opinions going global
Never take a minute for the
Issues that are local sitting on the couch
Holding phones that are mobile
Never break a sweat until
Everything is totalled
The world's gone mad, and it hurts so bad
That we curse and we laugh
Tryna cover what we can
Then the world turns fast while
It burns in the ash
We've been turning off bags
Taking earning that cash
It's the crazy world
The hate we hurl is painful
We forgot that we're all in the same boat
It don't matter 'bout your race or religion
Your fame or your riches
All we leave behind is a gravestone
I don't run the world 'cause I'd
Get killed for what I do
I'd be real with all the people
I'd tell everyone the truth
I don't run the world, but if I did
I'd spit the facts not everyone is evil
But the world's gone mad
We might not run the world, but
We can change the world, whoa
They can make the rules, but
We can break 'em too, whoa
Don't need to understand why we take a stand
Whoa
This is our world, our world, our world now
I don't run the world 'cause I'd
Get killed for what I do
I'd be real with all the people
I'd tell everyone the truth
I don't run the world, but if I did
I'd spit the facts not everyone is evil
But the world's gone mad
Get killed for what I do
I'd be real with all the people
I'd tell everyone the truth
I don't run the world 'cause if I did
I'd spit the facts not everyone is evil
But the world's gone mad
I've been anxious, depressed, I'm exhausted
In my tank, nothing left but a droplet
In my head, all I see is their comments
