Grandma’s in the hospital.

Don’t know if she’ll make it.

Daddy hates you because you’re late.

You have to sit there and take it.

And there’s nothing you can do.

Nothing you can do,

To make the world like you.

Oh the world will turn on you.

Mommy just quit her job.

Daddy barely makes a cent.

Once upon a time, happiness came.

Then it turned around and went.

And there’s nothing you can do.

Nothing you can do,

To make the world like you.

Oh the world will turn on you.

Your boyfriend’s leaving in two months.

That day you know your heart will break.

You’ll be forced to smile for everyone.

You wish they’d see that you’re a fake.

And there’s nothing you can do.

Nothing you can do,

To make the world like you.

Oh the world will turn on you.

Yes it’s true.

There’s nothing you can do,

To make the world like you.

There’s nothing you can say,

To make your life okay.

There’s nothing you can do.

The world is bound to turn on you.

There’s nothing you can do.

I wish that I could fly away,

So I could rest for just a day.

But there’s nothing you can do.

The world already turned on you.

So tonight I won’t pray,

Because I know I’ll never be okay.
