Whole Wide World Letra - The Rolling Stones

The streets I used to walk on

Are full of broken glass

And everywhere I'm looking

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 sleeping next

When the whole wide world's against you

And you're standing 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 that's got you on the run

And you think the party's over

But it's only just, only just begun

(Oh yeah)

Behind the bars of prison

You're never getting out

They wanna break your balls in those slimy walls

And the guards are lardy louts

The cameras that are watching you

They see a sullen face

Get me out the door, can't keep me in no more

I'm breaking down the gates

When the whole wide world's against you

And you're standing 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's 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 standing in the rain

When all your friends have let you down

And treat you with disdain

And you think the party's 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

(Yeah)

World's against you
