Big Wreck - Rest Of The World Lyrics

Well there's this man of the world
Who gets all the girls
And does what he wants to
I was in his employ
Since I was a boy
Was the orders that I outgrew

The only thing I have to figure out
Is how can I take everything
And cut him out

Give me the rest of the world
All the pretty girls
Who likes to take down bows
and everything
Find the one down below
Who knows it's all a show
Cause that's the only one thing
Bringing me down

Ask me how do I sleep
The skeletons I keep
It's easier than you'll know
What became the man I replaced
Some may know his face
Kicking in the dirt and snow

There's one thing that haunts me
To this day
Just before I put him out
I heard him say

Give me the rest of the world
The diamonds and the pearls
and everything
Find the one down below
Who knows it's all a show
Cause that's the only one thing
Bringing me down

A lone ambition
With a side of greed
At the expense
Of a friend in need

Give me the rest of the world
All the pretty girls
Who likes to take down bows
And everything
Find the one down below
Who knows it's all a show
Cause that's the only one thing
Bringing me down

Give me the world
