This World Is Not Your Friend
Danny Brooks
Oh This world is in a hurry
goin' round, round, round, goin' down
Goin' down
I met a man, Hernando Mississippi
We was workin' down in Memphis Tennessee
Memphis Tennessee
One night he told me, oh Danny boy
This ole world don't pick no favorites
It ain't nobody's true friend
It ain't nobody's true friend
Take you to the dance, leave you high and dry in the end, Jezebel
Try and win you back just to set you up all over again, Benedict
Oh this world is not your friend
Oh This world will lift you up
Just to tear you back down again
Back down again
Give you medals, honours, statues
Parades, platforms and empty platitudes
Empty platitudes
Everybody talkin'
About their own goodness
But tell me who can find a faithful friend
Tell me who can find a faithful friend
Take you to the dance, leave you high and dry in the end, Jezebel
Try and win you back just to set you up all over again, Benedict
Oh this world is not your friend
Take you to the dance, leave you high and dry in the end, Jezebel
Try and win you back just to set you up all over again, Benedict
Oh this world is not your friend
Oh This world is in a hurry
goin' round, round, round, goin' down
Goin' down
Oh this world is not your friend.... repeat to end
