a leather jacket, you dare to wear

big black boots, you bleach your hair

you cuss and puke, you spit and swear

you scream "fuck off, i don't care!"

but listen punks, to what i say

yes, listen up, to my words, o.k.?

there's something more than black and grey

even the likes of you will realize one day

the world's not bad at all

the world's not bad at all

there's flowers between garbage piles

emotions in computer files

the world's not bad at all

you think you are so tough and mean

belonging to the coolest scene

only sing about filth and hate

say you want to smash the state

the world's not bad at all

the world's not bad at all

there's life and love between nuclear waste

hope and peace for the human race

the world's not bad at all,

the world's not bad at all

the world's not bad at all

so i'm alright and you're o.k.

the sun will shine for us someday

the world's not bad at all
