Cover art for World Sick lyrics by Broken Social Scene

After listening to this song obsessively I really think some of the lyrics are incorrect:

I really think it is "That's why I'm leaving this spoken detention" as opposed to "...spoken protection" I also believe it is "I get world sick every time I take a stand" instead of "...take a step" - this logically rhymes with land.

While I am near 100% sure that what I have written above is correct, I am less sure of the last line of the first stanza, because the line definitely begins with "And...". I believe he may be saying something along the lines of being a romance addict, but I think the phrasing above is incorrect.

In total I think this song is a beautiful comeback from BSS. It has been too long since their last album. This song is so epic, and heartfelt, it really strikes a chord with me. I simply cannot wait until Forgiveness Rock Record.

Lyric Correction
