[Verse 1]
The government's corrupt, I know it
What the fuck you want me to do, go overthrow it?
There's starving children everywhere you look
What the fuck you want me to do? I barely know how to cook

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't see a way to make it stop
When evil motherfuckers always make it to the top
If everyone was like me, shit would be cool
We all would get along and be peaceful

[Chorus]
But the world is fucked up
What can I do about it?
The world is fucked up
What can I do about it?
There's seven billion people and I am only one
The world is really, really fucked up son

[Verse 2]
The Arabs and the Jews can't get along
What the fuck you want me to do, go sing 'em a song?
ISIS just blew up an ambulance
I guess they never heard "give peace a chance"
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, I don't see a way to make it stop
When evil motherfuckers always make it to the top
If everyone was like me, shit would be cool
We all would get along and be peaceful

[Chorus]
But the world is fucked up
What can I do about it?
The world is fucked up
What can I do about it?
There's seven billion people and I am only one
The world is really, really fucked up son

[Verse 3]
The environment is 'bout as bad as it can get
I recycled a can yesterday, did that fix it yet?
The government gave the banks all our tax money
Well, they can expect a harshly worded email from me
The oil companies have run amok
People protest them all the time, see if they give a fuck
They're fracking for natural gas and they're drilling for tar
And I learned all 'bout this on the radio while driving alone in my car

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, I don't see a way to make it stop
They're evil motherfuckers and I'm a no good hypocrite
At this point I just turn the TV off
And do things such as smoke weed and play golf
[Chorus]
'Cause the world is fucked up
What can I do about it?
The world is fucked up
What can I do about it?
There's seven billion people and I am only one
The world is really, really fucked up son
The world is really, really fucked up son
The world is really, really fucked up son
