When your young they fail to tell youJust say that you’re so smartAnd you’re so specialThey take your heart and then they break itAnd they take your skull, and then they shake itBut they’re never gonna tell you from the startThat the world is gonna break your little heartThey never say the game is riggedJust that the world’s so small, and you’re so bigYou go and get a job, and you break your backAnd you wish that they had told you thatBut they’re never gonna tell you from the startYes, the world is gonna break your little heartAnd no-one wants to teach these classesSo they fit you up for rose coloured glassesThe ones you love don’t have to love you backAnd you can try so hardBut the chance is fatYou buy your land and pay your taxesAnd no choice left but to join with the massesAnd you don’t want to be their soldierIf you don’t believe it now, then come back when you’re olderBut they’re never gonna tell you from startYes, the world is gonna break your little heartThey’re never gonna tell you from the startYes, the world is gonna break your little heart
