Beat‐Up World Songtext
von John Doe

There′s a tiger hanging over my shoulder
He's fuzzy and fluffy and wants to eat me
I can′t think of a better way to get out of here
But I guess I better hang around a few more years

You act like it's always too soon but never too late
Explanations don't mean a thing if you hesitate

I guess we′re gonna live in the speed-up world
We gotta live in the speed-up world
We′re gonna live in the speed-up world
'Cause we just used up the last one


A hail of icicles freezes to cover your face
Dripping like hair, you tried to tie it back
Tried to dye it black, but it keeps turning back into its natural
Nest of snakes

You act like it′s always too soon but never too late
Don't worry, tomorrow will be a brand new rainy day

We′re gonna live in the speed-up world
I guess we're gonna live in the speed-up world
We gotta live in the speed-up world
′Cause we just screwed up the last one

(Lock it up, lock it up, lock it up)

I guess we're gonna live in the speed-up world
We gotta live in the speed-up world
We gotta live in the speed-up world
'Cause we just screwed up the last one

(Lock it up, lock it up, lock it up)
