Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Every day it's the same when they say that it might be the end
In the end when it ends, then I'll listen to them
You wake up, go to work, go to sleep, then you do it, you do it
If you're lucky, then you do it again
[Verse 2]
Yeah, we walk through a world that we don't understand
When I look in your eyes, I'm just happy I can
Yeah, we'll laugh, and we'll cry, and we'll lose, and we'll win
We'll get through it, and to prove it, yeah, we'll do it again
There's glory in my saddest story
[Chorus]
Look at it, just sticks and bricks, makes you wonder how the pieces fit
Where we're goin', where we've been, this ain't paradise we're livin' in
It's a diamond, it's a dirty plastic pearl
Ah, but ain't it a beautiful world?
[Verse 3]
It's a shame when they say that it's been done and said
They keep diggin' that grave, let them bury their heads
There's a kid with a dream and a sky full of stars
There's another first kiss in the back of the some car
Turn a page and write the story
[Chorus]
Look at it, just sticks and bricks, makes you wonder how the pieces fit
Where we're goin', where we've been, this ain't paradise we're livin' in
It's a diamond, it's a dirty plastic pearl
Ah, but ain't it a beautiful world?
[Verse 4]
They're runnin' numbers out of the Spanish grocery
And Mary, Mary says her rosary
Get a ladder, there's a cat up in a tree, ah
The pretzel man's wearin' Gucci glasses
A widow spreads her lover's ashes
I'll hold onto you, hold onto me, yeah
We'll do it, we'll do it, yeah, if we're lucky then we'll do it again, ah
[Chorus]
Look at it, just sticks and bricks, makes you wonder how the pieces fit
Where we're goin', where we've been, this ain't paradise we're livin' in
It's a diamond, it's a dirty string of pearl
But ain't it a beautiful world?
[Outro]
Oh, ain't it a beautiful world?
Oh, oh
Oh, ain't it a beautiful world?
