my brother's keeper - i’m so glad this world is not my home lyrics

[refrain]
well it’s a cruel, and cold, funny world
i’m so glad this world is not my home

well this man buys scratch off tickets for twenty years, at 17 bucks a pop
and he wins 1750 one time, now he can’t stop
and this lady writes the church for help
she’s 50 bucks short and the bills are comin’ up
and the church says yeah, we can help you
if you send us 50 dollars a month
and i myself do not have a single penny to my name
so i guess my friends aren’t usin’ me
for fortune or for fame
and the titanic was built for water
but the water turned hard as stone
and the king of rock and roll
he died beside a porcelain throne

[refrain]
well it’s a cruel, and cold, funny world
i’m so glad this world is not my home

well i’ve never been on tv
and that’s probably great
cause i’d sing my heart out just for folks to say
“he’s gained a little weight”
and i wish someone bought my records
there ain’t been many sold
but midas lost it all the day his records went gold
and you don’t become the oldest man on earth
with another day of life
you become the oldest person in the world
when the one person that’s older than you dies
and the engineer’s nightmare is an architect’s dream
and the loudest singer in the church choir is always just a little bit off key
[refrain]
well it’s a cruel, and cold, funny world
i’m so glad this world is not my home
and i can’t, and i can’t, and i can’t feel at home in this world anymore

well a wise man once said+
well he said nothing it all
so you can guess what kind of man i am by how many words i squeezed into this song
well we worship men that have the money
and we worship the money itself
we read self+help books, and get rich quick books, and leave the bibles on the shelf
and we ignore the words in red about camels and needles, and givin’ it to the poor
and the bible belt shares real estate with all the adult book stores
and the wisest man is silent, and the weakest man is strong
but what do i know?
i’m just the fool who squeezed too many doggone words into this song

[refrain]
well it’s a cruel, and cold, funny world
i’m so glad this world is not my home
i’m so glad this world is not my home

one more time through
