World on a String

I've got the world on a string in my back pocket
And you ain't gonna get it from me

My head is screwed on like a lightbulb in it's socket
And you ain't getting nothing from me

I am right, you are wrong, end of conversation
I don't want to hear anymore

I've got the world on a string in my back pocket
So how come I'm feeling so poor?

I can't change
No matter how I try
I can't change you
No matter how I wanted you to change

We're at crossroads, honey
And either way we're lost

I've got the world on a string in my back pocket
And you ain't gonna get it from me

My head is screwed on like a lightbulb in it's socket
And you ain't getting nothing from me

I am right, you are wrong, end of conversation
I don't want to hear anymore

I've got the world on a string in my back pocket
So how come I'm feeling so poor?

I can't change
No matter how I try
I can't change you
No matter how I wanted you to change

We've got to face the facts now
And the facts ain't forgiving
