[Verse 1]
Cuttin' the page, things are looking up
That time is out of my range
One drink's what lead to the change
Out on my own, kicked out of the show
I'll take what's mine and I'll go

[Pre-Chorus]
It's just like my own brothers used to say

[Chorus]
There's somethin' wrong with this world
I feel it coming on
And contradictions take their toll
Is that where we went wrong?
And somethin' struck me, it struck me deep
It knocked me to my knees
Roddy, step on back from me (Ah)

[Verse 2]
So, man in the mirror, make another home here
You're put together but clear
You're lackin' substance, not fear
So come right inside, welcome to my new life
Separation intwined
[Pre-Chorus]
And I can't keep it straight inside my head

[Chorus]
There's somethin' wrong with this world
I feel it coming on
And contradictions take their toll
Is that where we went wrong?
And something struck me, it struck me deep
It knocked me to my knees
Roddy, step on back from me (Ah)
(Step on back)

[Outro]
Hey, man
Hey, man
I said hey, man
Hey, man
I said, "hey, man"
Hey, man
Hey, man
Ending retrograde
I told you mistakes were made
We're ending retrograde
I told you mistakes were made
We're in retrograde
Retrograde
