about

The world around us can sometimes take over our lives. I wrote this in a comical way to show the chaos we can sometimes find ourselves in from day to day. Sometimes you just want to say - "STOP THE WORLD, I WANNA GET OFF!!!!!!!!!!!"

lyrics

I've got twenty thousand reasons for feeling this way today
And I don't really care what the papers are wanting to say
It's the same old record playing over and over again
The tempo has changed but the lyrics are saying the same
Same old thing

I wanna stop the world,I wanna get off from here
Stop the world,I wanna get down yeah
Stop the world,I wanna rewind this frame
And start all over again

The office is calling,the office expects to be fed
Twenty-four hours every day and they're wanting some more
The bosses are parasites sucking us dry to the bone
And if there's anything left to give,their bonuses double again
And again

So now the rent is behind,there's a mountain of bills to get paid
The credit card company's raising the interest again
They wanna assist me,they're increasing my limit some more
And now the situation's turning from total regret to despair
But do they care

Now the boys are breaking toys and the girls are still screaming too loud
The baby's throwing food at the walls where the paper is torn
Tempers are rising,there's a cache of knives in the wall
Please let me steady the world cause I can't seem to stop it no more
No, no more

All lyrics written by and arranged by S.gibb
