Lyrics

Stop this world, let me off
There's just too many pigs in the same trough
There's too many buzzards sittin' on the fence
Stop this world, it's not making sense
Stop this show, hold the phone
Better days this girl has known
Better days so long ago
Hold the phone, won't you stop this show?
Well, it seems my little playhouse has fallen down
I think my little ship has run aground
Feel like I'm in the wrong place
My state of mind is a disgrace
So won't you stop this game, deal me out
I know too well what it's all about
I know too well that it had to be
Stop this game, well, it's ruinin' me
Well, I got too smart for my own good
I just don't do the things I know I should
There's bound to be some better way
I just got one thing more to say
And that is
Stop this game, deal me out
I know too well what it's all about
I know too well that it had to be
Stop this game, well, it's wreckin' me, yeah
