Big Bad World Lyrics
It's a big bad world
We're doing what we can
Sometimes we fall on our face
Before we even learn to stand
But we get back up
Shake off all the dust
And take it step by step
I could fill a whole floor to the ceiling
With all the dead wrong choices I've made
And even though we try to learn
From each others' mistakes
We'll do it again
(Doing it again)
We'll do it again, my friends
(Doing it again)
We'll do it again and again
Till eventually we change the way
It's always been
It's a big bad dream
Following your heart
Sometimes the one you need's
The one that tears you apart
So you say goodbye
Kiss her one more time
And cry the whole way home
I could fill up the driest river
With all the tears falling off of my face
And even though we try to learn
From each others' mistakes
We'll do it again
(Doing it again)
We'll do it again, my friends
(Doing it again)
We'll do it again and again
Till eventually we change the way
It's always been
(Doing it again)
We'll do it again and again
Till eventually we change the way
It's always been
Just running around in circles
Tripping over every hurdle
We're just trying to do
The best that we can
It's a big bad life
All that we can do
Is try to make it right
Tomorrow's something new
So if a big rain cloud
Follows you around
Don't let it get you down
We'll do it again
(Doing it again)
We'll do it again, my friends
(Doing it again)
We'll do it again and again
Till eventually we change the way
It's always been, oh
We'll do it again
(Doing it again)
We'll do it again, my friends
(Doing it again)
We'll do it again and again
Till eventually we change the way
It's always been, oh
(Doing it again)
We'll do it again and again
Till eventually we change the way
It's always been
(The way it's always been)
We're doing what we can
Sometimes we fall on our face
Before we even learn to stand
But we get back up
Shake off all the dust
And take it step by step
With all the dead wrong choices I've made
And even though we try to learn
From each others' mistakes
(Doing it again)
We'll do it again, my friends
(Doing it again)
We'll do it again and again
Till eventually we change the way
It's always been
Following your heart
Sometimes the one you need's
The one that tears you apart
So you say goodbye
Kiss her one more time
And cry the whole way home
With all the tears falling off of my face
And even though we try to learn
From each others' mistakes
(Doing it again)
We'll do it again, my friends
(Doing it again)
We'll do it again and again
Till eventually we change the way
It's always been
(Doing it again)
We'll do it again and again
Till eventually we change the way
It's always been
Tripping over every hurdle
We're just trying to do
The best that we can
All that we can do
Is try to make it right
Tomorrow's something new
So if a big rain cloud
Follows you around
Don't let it get you down
(Doing it again)
We'll do it again, my friends
(Doing it again)
We'll do it again and again
Till eventually we change the way
It's always been, oh
(Doing it again)
We'll do it again, my friends
(Doing it again)
We'll do it again and again
Till eventually we change the way
It's always been, oh
(Doing it again)
We'll do it again and again
Till eventually we change the way
It's always been
(The way it's always been)

I can't belive ths haven't got any comments. This: I could fill up the driest river With all the tears fallen off of my face And even though we try to learn From each others' mistakes
We'll do it again Is so me.
A typical "Falling is just a way of showing I've climbed which means I can climb again" song. In my "Yes we can survive!" list in iTunes, LOL.
