Theres a mean wind blowin this way

Everyone thinks its okay

The common law is lowest of all

So why do we laugh when we watch someone else take a fall.



Its the way of the world

Say a prayer and it all comes true

Cross your heart, hold your breath, touch the wall

You might make it through

Oh lord, please let the landing gears come down

Its a cry in the dark

And you know you dont make a sound

Its the way of the world.



Like a good soldier marking my time

I got my reward, it was mine

Cut off my hair and burned down my home

Sold my voice to the devil

And all I got left was alone.



Its the way of the world

Say a prayer and it all comes true

Cross your heart, hold your breath, touch the wall

You might make it through

Oh lord, please let the landing gears come down

Its a cry in the dark

And you know you dont make a sound

Its the way of the world

Its the way of the world.



What were you expecting

What were you expecting

What were you expecting

What did you have planned.



I know a woman, shes so very small

Has nothing to say so she speaks for us all

Looking for love and karmic relief

An act of contrition heals everything

Thats her belief.



Its the way of the world

Say a prayer and it all comes true

Cross your heart, hold your breath, touch the wall

You might make it through

Oh lord, please let the landing gears come down

Its a cry in the dark

And you know you dont make a sound

Its the way of the world

Its the way of the world.



What were you expecting

(its the way of the world Ill say a prayer for you)

What were you expecting

(its the way of the world and itll all come true)

What were you expecting

(its the way of the world)

Its not what you had planned.
