Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Stop this world, let me off
There's just too many pigs in the same trough
There's too many buzzards sitting on the fence
Stop this world, it's not making sense
[Verse 2]
Stop this show, hold the phone
Better days this lad has known
Better days so long ago
Hold the phone, won't you stop this show
[Verse 3]
Well, it seems my little playhouse has fallen down
I think my little ship has run aground
I feel like I'm in the wrong place
My state of mind is a disgrace
[Verse 4]
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, you know it's ruining me
[Verse 5]
Well, I got too smart for my own good
I just don't do the things that I know I should
There's bound to be some better way
I just got one thing more to say
[Verse 6]
And that's 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 you know it's wrecking me
