WORLD GO 'ROUND
(T. Kanal, G. Stefani)
from the album Tragic Kingdom


A song that the band ended up not being happy with (Adrian refers to it as "a bunch of white guys playing bad reggae" and Tony calls it "a thorn in our side"), this song was performed live prior to the release of Tragic Kingdom, but hardly ever, if not never, played after the album was released.


In the quickness of our haste
It seems we forget how to live
The old blueprint
No longer manifests itself
As the correct way to exist

So wipe the grime off the view hole
And please take a closer look
Environmental bandits
Up to their shenanigans
Crooks disguised as, crooks diguised as...

We've got to find another way
To make the world go 'round
(World go 'round, world go 'round)
We've got to find another way
To make the world go 'round
(World go 'round, world go 'round)

Individual roles we think
Not so important to the plot
The big picture unseen
Leaving life in between
Destroyed and overwrought

There's no need to point the finger
We understand who takes the blame
Delinquents caught
Red-handed in the act
Crooks disguised as you and I

We've got to find another way
To make the world go 'round
(World go 'round, world go 'round)
We've got to find another way
To make the world go 'round
(World go 'round, world go 'round)
We've got to find another way
To make the world go 'round
(World go 'round, world go 'round)
Yeah find another way
(World go 'round, world go 'round)

You see there's many many many many
People in the world
And I'm not sure if I like
What I've heard
I'm not sure if I like
What I'm doin myself
I'm not sure if I like how the world turns
How the world turns

Oh degradation - great big world (great big world)
I'm in violation - oh
Inexcusable exploitation
It's the dawning of a new era
People consciously don't care
How unfair

You find another way
To make the world go 'round
You gotta find another way
To make the world go 'round
We gotta find another way
To make the world go 'round yeah yeah
And yeah find another way whoa
It's every 'nother way hey
And find another way to make the world go 'round
World go 'round, world go 'round
You got to send me another way
In the quickness of our haste we forget
In the quickness of our haste we forget how to live
(Find another way to make the world go 'round)
Ah, find another way
To make the world go 'round
World go 'round, world go 'round
