I"m just trying to get something started
Been so low and so downhearted
Haven"t seen my friends in a while
And I never laugh and hardly ever smile
It"s a deep-seated kneejerk reaction
Without fail, the same course of action
And it"s the truth but it"s always sugar-coated
And the starting gun is never loaded
I take it too hard, I take it too hard
What kind of world? What kind of world?
You take me apart before I can start
What kind of world?
Still trying to figure something out
I shoot them down and I shut them out
All my efforts just ricochet
Off these walls that I put in my way
And every word like a stray bullet
Put my finger on the trigger and pull it
I take it too hard, I take it too hard
What kind of world? What kind of world?
You take me apart before I can start
What kind of world?
I take it too hard, I take it too hard
What kind of world? What kind of world?
You take me apart before I can
Outlucked without luck for the cure
It"s a condition-and-response behaviour
A symbol of appreciation
It"s a memo for motivation
So looked-over, so underrated
Every move proves to be ill-fated
Ever strained, always staying focused
When every gesture goes unnoticed
I take it too hard, I take it too hard
What kind of world? What kind of world?
You take me apart before I can start
What kind of world?
