Born to be a salesman,
too proud to be ashamed
Do we believe in what we're selling,
Or the money that we crave
Famous for being famous, afraid to be afraid
Swallow the medication and redirect the pain
Always looking for somebody to blame
ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
The TV is my teacher, and alcohol my friend
The food I eat is poison, but it'll love me to the end
And in the end when it all hits me,
I'll realize it was a shame that I was looking for somebody to blame.[chorus]
What a wonderful world that we live in
Now that everybody's getting rich
It's a wonderful world that we live in
Why is everyone getting sick?
It's not your fault, it's not my fault
Just take the blame and pass it along
In this wonderful world that we're killing, we're all killing
This wonderful world that we live in
Now that everybody's getting rich
It's a wonderful world that we live in
Why is everybody getting sick?
It's not your fault, it's not my fault
Just take the blame and pass it along
In this wonderful world that we're killing, we're all killing
This wonderful world that we live in
We're all killing
This wonderful world that we live in
We're all killing
This wonderful world that we live in
We're all killing
This wonderful world that we live in
We're all killing
This wonderful world
