0:06Let me tell you a story
0:09About a boy and a girl
0:12It’s kinda short kinda boring
0:16But the end is a whirl
0:20They were just 16
0:22When the people were mean
0:24So they didn’t love themselves
0:27And now they’re gone
0:30Headstones on a lawn
0:33When I was younger
0:36I knew a boy and a boy
0:39Best friends with each other
0:42But always wished they were more
0:46‘Cause they loved one another
0:49But never discovered ‘cause they were too afraid
0:53Of what they’d say
0:57Moved to different states
1:01Oh, and I’m afraid that’s just the way the world works
1:07It ain’t funny, it ain’t pretty, it ain’t sweet
1:14Oh, and I’m afraid that’s just the way the world works
1:20But I think that it could work for you and me
1:27Just wait and see
1:33It’s not the end of the story
1:41Now it's on to the sequel
1:44About me and my friend
1:47Both our parents were evil
1:50So we both made a bet
1:55If we worked and we saved
1:56We could both run away
1:58And we’d have a better life
2:01And I was right
2:04I wonder if she’s alright
2:08Oh, and I’m afraid that’s just the way the world works
2:14It ain’t funny, it ain’t pretty, it ain’t sweet
2:22Oh, and I’m afraid that’s just the way the world works
2:28But I think that it could work for you and me
2:34Just wait and see
2:40It’s not the end of the story, Ok
2:53And the movie’s always running in my head
2:59All the people, all the lovers, all my friends
3:05And I hope that they’ll all get their happy end
3:12In the end
3:16Oh, and I’m afraid that’s just the way the world works
3:22It ain’t funny, it ain’t pretty, it ain’t sweet
3:29Oh, and I’m afraid that’s just the way the world works
3:36But I think that it could work for you and me
3:43Just wait and see
3:49It’s not the end of the story
