[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?

[Verse 1]
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 2]
Entеr the concubine
She's got a dozеn dirty ways to be divine
She make the mischief and the molecules align
Static and wine, love

[Verse 3]
Then in walks the diplomat
He's got a belly full of grease and gristle fat
A wicked rabbit underneath his hat
And 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

[Bridge]
So draw and quarter me
I think I'd rather be
That kind of martyr, than barter a better part of me
Cause 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
