Joan Jett and The Blackhearts - World Of Denial Lyrics

(Joan Jett/K. Aaronson)

How did we get to this place?
I thought that we would have settled this by now
I thought that blood was thicker than mud
I guess I was wrong

If love was a ship sailing oceans deep
Then your ship's sinkin' cuz it sprung a leak
You'll learn the truth but it may take a while
Because you're livin' in a world of denial

All we have is our family an' our friends
Why let this thing come to a painful end?
I thought that we'd embrace
Instead we pull away
I guess I was wrong

If love was a ship sailing oceans deep
Then your ship's sinkin' cuz it sprung a leak
You'll learn the truth but it may take a while
Because you're livin' in a world of denial

Go on - keep on playin' dirty
Go on - keep on breaking all the rules
Go on - keep doin' what your doin'
You're gonna look good on the front page news

If love was a ship sailing oceans deep
Then your ship's sinkin' cuz it sprung a leak
You'll learn the truth but it may take a while
Because you're livin' in a world of denial

You got control so you just don't care
But it won't be me who'll go runnin' scared
You'll learn the truth but it may take a while
Cause you're just livin' in a world of denial
