Everybody thinks that they're the one
Everybody thinks they're stronger than everybody else
They see what happens to their friends
They don't believe that's how they're gonna end

If you do happen to be stronger
It only means you're gonna take longer to go under

That's the trouble in this world
The trouble in this world
The trouble is

At first you got the upper hand
When people warn you, you just don't understand
You say it's an old wives' tale
And everybody's gonna die anyway

This marriage was doomed from the start
She don't wanna have money she just rips out your heart
When you part, when you escape from
Her prison

Your saviour wrote you a message
You're superstitious, you know you shouldn't break the chain
Don't be scared to have children
Anyone would have thought it was pre-ordained
If you do happen to be stronger
It only means you're gonna take longer to go under

That's the trouble in this world
The trouble in this world
Oh, trouble in this world
Trouble, trouble
Trouble in the world
That's the trouble in this world
