Probably the best of the bunch. Certainly the most fun to play.
lyrics
The wonders of the world
So many books to say you've read
So many sheets to say you've slept on
And ran off without a trace
The wonders of the world
So many times to claim you've bled
And tried to die for all the sins
Of someone you can't place
Falling back on your little-girl act
I thought you'd worn that out
There's at least a thousand born every minute
And I'm sure you know one when you see one
You ain't saying shit, but you're saying it loud
You must be proud
The lessons you have learned
Like falling where it's soft
Dressing down to expectations at the lost and found
The lessons you have learned
Like how and when to cough
To grab some pity, make it last
And spread it all around
You'll fall right back on your helpless act
When the next one throws you out
There must be millions born every minute
And I'm sure you know when when you smell one
You ain't saying shit but you're saying it loud
You must be proud
You can't hide me, can't hide from me
You can't turn me off
The wonders of the world
So many books to say you've read
So many beds
So little time
The wonders of the wonders
Of the times I wish you'd bled
Or maybe just die for all the sins
Of someone you just can't face
So many books to say you've read
So many sheets to say you've slept on
And ran off without a trace
The wonders of the world
So many times to claim you've bled
And tried to die for all the sins
Of someone you can't place
Falling back on your little-girl act
I thought you'd worn that out
There's at least a thousand born every minute
And I'm sure you know one when you see one
You ain't saying shit, but you're saying it loud
You must be proud
The lessons you have learned
Like falling where it's soft
Dressing down to expectations at the lost and found
The lessons you have learned
Like how and when to cough
To grab some pity, make it last
And spread it all around
You'll fall right back on your helpless act
When the next one throws you out
There must be millions born every minute
And I'm sure you know when when you smell one
You ain't saying shit but you're saying it loud
You must be proud
You can't hide me, can't hide from me
You can't turn me off
The wonders of the world
So many books to say you've read
So many beds
So little time
The wonders of the wonders
Of the times I wish you'd bled
Or maybe just die for all the sins
Of someone you just can't face
