This World Song Lyrics
This World by Bret McKenzie [Verse 1]
Read the news, the future is grim
We're all to blame for the state that we're in
A billion pieces of plastic floatin' in the ocean
Look around, the planet is bleedin'
A child's cryin', the parents are weepin'
The air is filthy, they don't recommend breathin'
They're not jokin′
[Pre-Chorus]
How long can this go on?
Well, we all know we're doin' it wrong
[Chorus]
Oh, this world is broken
This world is broken
The planet ain't copin'
This world is broken
[Verse 2]
Every day, run around in these cars
But babe, we'rе dreamin′ if we're movin' to Mars
Thеre ain't a planet better than ours
It′s not an option (Ooh)
There are those who say it's all misconception (All misconception)
Well, look around, you'll find you're the exception
Your corporations are full of deception and no emotion
[Pre-Chorus]
How long can this go down?
Well, we all gonna turn it around
[Chorus]
Oh, this world is broken (This world is broken)
This world is broken (This world is broken)
Nobody's copin′ (Nobody's copin')
This world is broken
[Bridge]
It's the only one we got
Don′t act now, we're gonna lose a lot
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
This world is broken
This world is broken
Nobody's copin'
This world has spoken
This world is broken (This world is broken)
This world is broken (This world is broken)
Nobody is copin' (Nobody's copin')
This world is broken, oh
[Outro]

La, la, la-la, la-la
La, la-la-la-la
La, la-la-la-la
Oh, la, la, la-la, la-la
La la-la-la-la
La, la-la-la-la
Yeah, woo-ooh (la, la, la-la, la-la)
(La, la-la-la-la, la la-la-la-la)
