What Kind Of World in Brendan Benson

I'm just tryin' to get something started
Been so low and so downhearted
Haven't seen my friends in awhile
And i never laugh and hardly ever smile

It's a deep-seeded knee-jerk reaction
Without fail the same course of action
And it's the truth but it's always sugar-coated
And the starting gun is ever loaded

I take it too hard, i take it to heart.
What kind of world? what kind of world?
You take me apart before i can start
What kind of world?

I'm still trying to figure something out
I shoot 'em down and i shut them out
All my efforts just ricochet
Off these walls that are put in my way
And every word like a stray bullet
Put my finger on the trigger and pull it

I take it too hard, i take it to heart.
What kind of world? what kind of world?
You take me apart before i can start
What kind of world?
I take it too hard, i take it to heart
What kind of world? what kind of world?
You take me apart before i can ...
And i've looked without luck for the cure
It's a condition that responds behavior
A symbol of appreciation
It's a member full of motivation

So looked over, so underrated
Every move proves to be will fated
Never stray. always stay in focus
When every gesture goes unnoticed

I take it too hard, i take it to heart
What kind of world? what kind of world?
You take me apart before i can start.
What kind of world?
I take it too hard, i take it to heart
What kind of world? what kind of world?
You take me apart before i can start
What kind of world?
