Well, I go to work, my boss is a jerk
I try my best but my feelings get hurt
They treat me like dirt, the only thing worse
Is I need the money, honey
And I, I look at the news, a river of blues
I'm so confused and I'm starting to sink
I can't even think, yeah, let's have a drink
And turn up the radio baby
The world is a mess I feel like dancing
Forget all about our cares for a while
The world is a mess I feel like dancing for a little while
Yeah, that's right
We'll, pull down the shades, we've got it made
Forget all our troubles, the bills will get paid
We've got a date and doomsday can wait
And I'm tired of thinking' about it
The world is a mess I feel like dancing
Forget all about our cares for a while
The world is a mess I feel like dancing for a little while
Yeah, that's right
The world is a mess I feel like singing
Sing and be loud at the top of my voice
The world is a mess I feel like singing
High above the noise
This is the question and this is the answer
I wish that I could be some fancy dancer
I may never see you again and that's the way life goes
But time's a mighty river and you can't stop the way it flows
But if I never see you again, baby I love you
Yeah, and I just wanted you to know
Yes, I just wanted you to know
I just wanted you to know that I love you
And I just wanted you to know
Bye, bye, life goes by
