Stop This World

Mose Allison · Other Songs - Mose Allison

Stop this world, let me off

There's just too many pigs in the same trough

There's too many buzzards sitting on the fence

Stop this world, it's not making sense



Stop this show, hold the phone

Better days this lad has known

Better days so long ago

Hold the phone, won't you stop this show



Well, it seems my little playhouse has fallen down

I think my little ship has run aground

I feel like I'm in the wrong place

My state of mind is a disgrace



So won't you stop this game, deal me out

I know too well what it's all about

I know too well that it had to be

Stop this game you know it's ruining me



Well, I got too smart for my own good

I just don't do the things I know I should

There's bound to be some better way

I just got one thing more to say



And that is stop this game, deal me out

I know too well what it's all about

I know too well that it had to be

Stop this game you know it's wrecking me
