What Is This World Coming To?
Lyrics by Jakki Jelene

What is this world coming to?
Everything that I see is for the birds
So what is a girl supposed to do?
I’m ready to move

Maybe I could build a rocket ship and blast off into space
Maybe I could build a house upon the moon
Would tomorrow be too soon?
Would tomorrow be too soon?

Everyone calls for compromise
But all that really means is do what I do
So I’m just content to fantasize
I’m ready to move

Maybe I could build a rocket ship and blast off into space
Maybe I could build a house upon the moon
Would tomorrow be too soon?
Would tomorrow be too soon?

Time and tide waits for nobody
And perhaps we’re already gone
One day closer to the end or the beginning
But that depends on your point of view

I’m not waiting around while the world goes up in flames
I have much better things to do
There’s a life beyond the one we know
But that depends on your point of view
That depends on your point of view
That depends on your point of view

What is this world coming to?
Everything that I see is for the birds
So what is a girl supposed to do?
I’m ready to move

Time and tide waits for nobody
And perhaps we’re already gone
And perhaps we’re already gone
And perhaps we’re already gone
And perhaps we’re all ready…
