"Welcome to This World" Lyrics

The telephone rings I grab all my things
And I take off down the street
The old man on the corner must have started kind of early
Tryin to rake up something to eat.

I toss him a dollar cut across to the market
Ain't got a lot of time to waste
There's two men yelling at each other at the counter
Getting up in one another's face.

Chorus:
Welcome to this world
This crazy, crazy world,
Welcome to this world
My crazy, crazy world.

My brother-in-law told me that the baby came early
And everybody's doin' just fine
The elevator door it opens third floor
So many relatives of mine
I walked up to the window it took me just a minute
To find the last name there
That tiny little angel she can't hear me
But still I gotta say to her.

Chorus:
Welcome to this world
This crazy, crazy world,
Welcome to this world
My crazy, crazy world.

Heading home in the night I swear in my sight
Is a man on roller skates
He's got a llama on a leash crossin' the street
Man only 'round this place
I see up ahead lights flashing red
Another threat streets closed here
But freedom rules and you know we refuse
To live our lives in fear.

Chorus:
Welcome to this world
This crazy, crazy world,
Welcome to this world
My crazy, crazy world...
