lyrics

I woke up tonight, turned my radio off
and got bit confused when the sound came out
there was this man with a high pitched voice
telling about the law that the government had made
oh no... the world is upside down

I just couldn't believe it so I switch off my TV
the voice repeated the news in channel ZWV
and the people in the buss were smiling bright
and talking to the one who was sitting beside
about the great news and everything else
the conversation ended when the buss driver said
goodbye... and do come back again

Save this planet by driving SUV
make the air clean and easy to breathe
the sun shines purple and the grass is red
everything looks funny now when the world is reversed
The city outside is full of life
buzzing in the streets during day and night
the sun shines purple and the grass is red
everything looks funny now when the world is reversed
oh no... the world is upside down

It went a while and everything was fine
for the very first time I enjoyed my life
but soon after that the government decided
that we're gonna turn this back again
'cause money, money, money, money, we need more
I don't even know who we did this for
well I need a brand new jet and a car
I wan't russian caviar and cuban cigars
let us just vote and reverse this law
they all shouted in the congress hall
oh no... they turned it back again

Destroy this planet by driving SUV
make the air thick and hard to breathe
the sun doesn't shine and the grass is dead
everything looked when the world was reversed || x3

The city outside has lost its fight
the streets are silent during day and night
the sun doesn't shine and the grass is dead
everything looked when the world was reversed
oh no...
oh no...
oh no...
oh no... they turned it back again
