What Kind Of World - Brendan Benson

I'm just tryin' to get something started
Been so low and so downhearted
Haven't seen my friends in awhile
And I never laugh and hardly ever smile
It's a deep-seeded knee-jerk reaction
Without fail the same course of action
And it's the truth but it's always sugar-coated
And the starting gun is ever loaded
I take it too hard I take it to heart
What kind of world What kind of world
You take me apart before I can start
What kind of world
I'm still trying to figure something out
I shoot 'em down and I shut them out
All my efforts just ricochet
Off these walls that are put in my way
And every word like a stray bullet
Put my finger on the trigger and pull it
I take it too hard I take it to heart
What kind of world What kind of world
You take me apart before I can start
What kind of world
I take it too hard I take it to heart
What kind of world What kind of world
You take me apart before I can
And I've looked without luck for the cure
It's a condition that responds behavior
A symbol of appreciation
It's a member full of motivation
So looked over so underrated
Every move proves to be ill fated
Never stray Always stay in focus
When every gesture goes unnoticed
I take it too hard I take it to heart
What kind of world What kind of world
You take me apart before I can start
What kind of world
I take it too hard I take it to heart
What kind of world What kind of world
You take me apart before I can start
What kind of world
