[Intro]
Here come the cavalry
They rode a million miles
To make a man of me
They'll figure out
If I am God or Chemistry
Which will it be, love?

[Pre-Chorus]
Then in walks the matriarch
That cigarette is sexy in the dark
The demon dogs around her
Howl and bark
Then she turns and says to me

[Chorus]
It's a big bad world
So you better find
Something to believe in
People gonna love
People gonna lie
People gonna leave ya

[Verse]
Entеr the concubine
She's got a dozеn dirty ways
To be divine
She makes the mischief
And the molecules align
Static and wine, love
[Pre-Chorus]
Then in walks the diplomat
He's got a belly full of grease
And gristle fat
A wicked rabbit underneath his hat
Then he turns and says to me

[Chorus]
It's a big bad world
So you better find
Something to believe in
People gonna love
People gonna lie
People gonna leave ya
It's a big bad world
So you better find
Something to believe in
People gonna run
People gonna hide
People gonna need ya

[Verse]
So draw and quarter me
I think I'd rather be
That kind of martyr
Than barter
A better part of me
I'm quick with the wit
And I shoot from the hip
Keep them entertained
Ready, fire, aim, listen
[Chorus]
It's a big bad world
So you better find
Something to believe in
People gonna love
People gonna lie
People gonna leave ya
It's a big bad world
So you better find
Something to believe in
People gonna run
People gonna hide
People gonna need ya

[Outro]
Here come the Cavalry
They rode a million miles
To make a man of me
