World, world, sister world World, world, sister world When will I have enough of you When will I have enough of you When I give up bread for Lent And the glass will give up on me
Maybe then I'll have enough of you Maybe then I'll have enough of you When they hammer the nails on my coffin When they hammer the nails on my coffin World, sister world When they put me in my grave And I won't be on earth anymore World, sister world
That's how the world is, transient 'Cause that's how the world is, transient One is born, another dies One is born, another dies World, sister world The born one suffers The dead one rots
'Cause that's how the world is, transient One is born, another dies World, sister world The born one suffers The dead one rots World, sister world
