It's a funny world we live in It's a funny life we live For years I've tried to sort it out But nothing seems to give
Calamity, catastrophe Disasters in the air You and I have blown our minds And no one, nobody seems to care
It's a funny day that's dying It's a funny night ahead Blank faces blink unseeing eyes And Grandma goes to bed
Calamity, catastrophe Disasters in the air You and I have seen the light But no one, nobody seems to care
It's a funny fear I'm feeling It's a funny pain inside Like a frightened kid with nightmares On a long and lonely ride
Calamity, catastrophe Disasters in the air It worries you, it shatters me That no one, nobody seems to care No one seems to care No one seems to care
