Whole Wide World

The Rolling Stones The Rolling Stones

The streets I used to walk on
Are full of broken glass
And everywhere I'm lookin'
There's memories of my past
The filthy flat in Fulham
The smell of sex and gas
I never ever really knew where I was sleepin' next

When the whole wide world's against you
And you're standin' in the rain
When all your friends have let you down
And treat you with disdain
When the whole wide world's against you
And life's got you on the run
And you think the party is over
But it's only just, only just begun

Oh, no

Behind the bars of prison
You're never gettin' out
They wanna break your balls in those slimy walls
And the guards are lardy louts
The cameras that are watchin' you
Hey, see a sullen face
Get me out the door, can't keep me in no more
I'm breakin' down the gates

When the whole wide world's against you
And you're standin' in the rain
And you want someone beside you
To pull you up again
When the whole wide world's against you
And life's got you on the run
And you think the party is over
But it's only just, only just begun

Well, the dreary streets of London
They never promised much
A dead-end job to nowhere
And all your dreams are crushed

When the whole wide world's against you
And you're standin' in the rain
When all your friends have let you down
And treat you with disdain
And you think the party is over
But it's only just begun
Let's raise a glass, get up and dance
'Cause life's just hit and, hit and
Hit-and-run

Hit-and-run, yeah
The party's over
Ayy
Whole wide world's against you
