Robert Palmer Mean Old World lyrics

Look around my brother
There's a world at your command
You'd realize it, if you'd only
Lift your head up from your hands

Sail away from your troubles
Free as a bird up in the sky
Paradise is waiting in your mind
Ain't no use sat complaining

Woman, that life don't go our way, idly wishing
That tomorrow will come save us from today
Being tired of living with no money in your hand
Trying to find someone to understand


It's a mean ol' world but it's up to us
To make it heaven, here and now
It's a mean ol' world but it's up to us
To make it heaven, here and now

So come on, let's get together
Sharing in love and happiness
Dah, woo

Yeah, it's a mean ol' world
But it's up to us to make it heaven
Here and now, woo, dana dana
