Album: No More Beautiful World (2007)

  • Too little true, too many lie
    Not enough laugh, too many cry
    Too many low, not enough high
    Who let the goon squad in?

    Too many stare, not enough see
    Not enough stand, too many flee
    Too many slave, not enough free
    Who let the goon squad in?

    Whoa!!
    Why you tryin' to kick in an open door?
    Whoa!!
    Do we have to see it again now, we've seen it before
    We turn the other cheek
    and take it on the chin now
    Who let the goon squad in?

    So many riches, too many poor
    Too many generals stabbin' flags in a foreign shore
    New season, new reason, same ol' war …now
    Who let the goon squad in?

    There is no more beautiful World

    Don't take flight, they can't give chase,
    I'll not run in your master race
    Too much crude, not enough grace
    Who let the goon squad in?
    There is no more beautiful World Writer/s: ELVIS COSTELLO
    Publisher: BMG Rights Management
