The World Is Round

Leaving work one night, a snidely young man Caught the soulful eye of a homeless man He looked at his Rolex, and looked at his Mac And he said to him Son, better pay it back Cause the world is round, and it comes around fast Better think this out, better make this last See, ya take what ya get and ya get what ya choose But things that you do will come back to you There's a girl in a Porshe, near a sculpture of ice The young CEO, thinks he's got it so nice While his factory worker with pink slip in hand Waves goodbye to his friends and his pension plan But the world is round, and it comes around fast Better watch yourself, better make it last Cause the world is round and it comes around fast Watch out Crypto yachts, and island slots A big coal plant, a forest lost A world away, a farmer prays For a little rain, bright sunny day The things that you build and things that you break Leave people behind that live in your wake The world is round, the world is round It comes round fast, comes around fast The world is round, world is round This will not last, will not last The world is round, world is round Comes around fast Monopoly money, helipad honies Life with no rest, men without chests Shanty town summers, Baja hummers Comes around fast, it will not last The things that you build, the things that break Leave people behind that live your wake The things that you build, the things that you break Leave people behind that live in your wake The things that you build, the things that you break Leave people behind that live in your wake But the world is round, and it comes around fast Now these dreams that you sold, they will not last The CEO's tears are running too late While the jury is set to decide his fate Cause the world is round, and it comes around fast So go back and find, what you lost in your past If you look around close, you'll see that it's true The things that you lost can come back to you Cause the world is round, come on back, come on back Yeah, the world is round, look around, come on back Sankofa, Sankofa, come on back, come on back, Sankofa
