Welcome to This World

The telephone rings I grab all my things

And I take off down the street

The old man on the corner must have started kind of early

Tryin to rake up something to eat.



I toss him a dollar cut across to the market

Ain't got a lot of time to waste

There's two men yelling at each other at the counter

Getting up in one another's face.



Chorus:

Welcome to this world

This crazy, crazy world,

Welcome to this world

My crazy, crazy world.



My brother-in-law told me that the baby came early

And everybody's doin' just fine

The elevator door it opens third floor

So many relatives of mine

I walked up to the window it took me just a minute

To find the last name there

That tiny little angel she can't hear me

But still I gotta say to her.



Chorus:

Welcome to this world

This crazy, crazy world,

Welcome to this world

My crazy, crazy world.



Heading home in the night I swear in my sight

Is a man on roller skates

He's got a llama on a leash crossin' the street

Man only 'round this place

I see up ahead lights flashing red

Another threat streets closed here

But freedom rules and you know we refuse

To live our lives in fear.



Chorus:

Welcome to this world

This crazy, crazy world,

Welcome to this world

My crazy, crazy world...
