Bad World Lyrics by Ben Kessler

2024

[Verse 1]
Found a dollar
Then it flew out of my hands
Almost had it all
Bought a new shirt
Tried to crop it and it ripped
Man, that's pitiful
Threw a party
Then everyone called sick
Now I'm sitting in an empty house
Trying not to see
People that I love turn to people I can't reach
Everything I hold keeps on slipping from me

[Chorus]
And I thought you'd be gone by now
Thought the light would've flickered out
Such a good thing in a bad world
You're a good thing in a bad world
I get beat up and I break down
You say, "Baby, let me pull you out"
Such a good thing in a bad world
You're a good thing in a bad world

[Verse 2]
It's a habit
Push away, you pull me back
Oh, it's madness, oh
Automatic
I'm always waiting for the worst thing to happen, oh
And I panic
'Cause you treat me so good
Nothing this good ever lasted for me, oh
People that I love turn to people I don't reach
Everything I hold keeps on slipping from me

[Chorus]
And I thought you'd be gone by now
Thought the light would've flickered out
Such a good thing in a bad world
You're a good thing in a bad world
I get beat up and I break down
You say, "Baby, let me pull you out"
Such a good thing in a bad world
You're a good thing in a bad world

[Outro]
