Wish The World Away

American Music Club · San Francisco [1994]

I don't need anybody's love, I couldn't afford it anyway

With my penny's worth of hope, that's not funny but it's a joke

And I got a good one for the collection agency

It's a wish that I could wish the world away, I could wish the world away

Don't watch TV, it's all lies, I watch TV day and night

I believe everything I see and I can't turn it off

The only thing that kept me together in the good old days

Was a wish that you could wish the world away

Yeah, you could wish the world away

You could wish the world away

You could wish the world away

Where's the message in the bottle? Where's the miracle in the pill?

Where's the nurse with that needle? Where is all of my free will?

Count down backwards from ten and everything's okay

You can wish, you can wish the world away

You can wish the world away

You can wish the world away

You can wish the world away

I can wish
