Rotten World Blues Songtext / Lyric

Hey, man

(What?)

Hey, man

(What?)

Hey, man

(What?)



Hey, man

(What?)

Dig this



Well, I went walkin' out yesterday

A man was carryin' a sign that says

'The world is gonna end tomorrow'

Hey, buddy, got a nickel I can borrow?



This rotten world's gonna chew you up

Swallow you whole and then spit you back out

Sooner you recognize this simple fact

Then this rotten world gives you what you lack






Ol' Miss Hedrick, she's gettin' down

You don't see her much walkin' 'round town

Well, you could say that she needs a little lovin'

Looking for a light with her head in the oven



This rotten world's gonna chew you up

Swallow you whole and then spit you back out

The sooner you recognize this simple fact

Then this rotten world gives you what you lack, let's rock



Miss Kovalov, she's lookin' good

Walkin' her ass through the neighborhood

She knows somethin' that you don't know

Somethin' she learned about a long time ago



This rotten world's gonna chew you up

Swallow you whole and then spit you back out

The sooner you recognize this simple fact

Then this rotten world gives you what you lack

This rotten world's gonna chew you up

Swallow you whole and then spit you back out
