rest of the world

well there's this man of the world

who gets all the girls

and does what he wants to

i was in his employ

since i was a boy

it was the orders that i outgrew

the only thing i have to figure out

is how can i take everything

and cut him out

give me the rest of the world

all the pretty girls

and i should take doubles of everything

find the one down below

who knows it's all a show

cause that's the only one thing

bringing me down

ask me how do i sleep

the skeletons i keep

it's easier than you'll know

what became of the man i replaced

some may know his face

kicking through the dirt and snow

there's one thing that haunts me

to this day

just before i put him out

i heard him say

give me the rest of the world

the diamonds and the pearls

i think i need doubles of everything

find the one down below

who knows it's all a show

cause that's the only one thing

bringing me down

a lone ambition

with a side of greed

at the expense

of a friend in need

give me the rest of the world

all the pretty girls

and i should take doubles of everything

find the one down below

who knows it's all a show

cause that's the only one thing

bringing me down

give me the rest

doubles of everything

give me the rest
