Gonna tell this story about...
Give me the bass drum

When I was a little boy, I didn't know right from wrong
I was young and innocent, it didn't last for long
I went out to Germany - Reeperbahn and all that
Aged five years in thirteen weeks, now there ain't no turnin' back

Ooh, it ain't, ain't a bad world
Ain't bad all the time
No one will give you no guarantees
That you gonna like what you find

Can't forget the things you know, can't go back in time
Live a good life, gain experience, I'm layin' it on the line
No, I don't claim I seen everything but I've had my share
I don't understand everything but I know it's there

Ooh, it ain't, ain't a bad world
Ain't bad all the time
No one will give you no guarantees
That you gonna like what you find

This world that I find
Oh no, it ain't a bad world
This world that I find
Oh no, it ain't a bad world
