Josh Breden - Ways of the World Lyrics

If it means something to you you can celebrate

That's what my years have proved to be the 'American way

But I'm starting to see how the story might end

The bridge could be collapsed right around the bend

Everybody's in pain no two feel it the same

And the comforts are never permanent

Sometimes it takes a thief to get a little relief

The ways of the world the way I'm learning it

The ways of the world the way I'm learning it!

Something about being this nationality

That makes people find their own reality

And if you're so busy looking for who to blame

They tell you it's changed

But I'll tell you it's still the same

Right and wrong do battle in the background of a song

And the winner

We'll let the listener determine it

The singer exposes the subject and makes it public

The ways of the world the way I'm learning it

The ways of the world the way I'm learning it!

I came here kicking

And screaming and I'll leave the same way

I need to rest my wings but I can't stay

I'm still looking for a place that's suitable

And the truth is ugly but child of God you're beautiful!

Lovers and friends don't stick around til the end

If you've got a bridge

Don't you go burnin' it

And in spite of the hell that's raising

We'll do something amazing

The ways of the world the way I'm learning it

The ways of the world the way I'm learning it!
