Joan Osborne - Wild World lyrics

Hey you

Is there something worth aspiring to

And can it be found in a record store

Well it’s not there anymore

Just think of all the things we did

We were different

Just like all the other kids

Missy was a teen blue video star

Tom took his life in his mother’s car

Milo went to college but you knew about that

Rodney played our record

Gg started riots

Laurie was always quiet

She was battling depression

Hey you

Is there something worth belonging to

And can I pick it up for a song

Or a diploma or a worthy cause

Well let me tell you that there’s nothing wrong

It’s just that ones like us will never belong

Jack wore a skirt but he knew how to scrap

Billy went to county on a class one possession

Wendy went to school while her daddy shot smack

Eugene kept a list

Mugger was security

Mary she kept her purity

We were all in it together

Yellowed postcards on the wall

Serve to cover up a blankness after all

So I will carry them along

Like a song when I’m gone yeah

Hey you

Is there something worth belonging to

You know we’ve been here all along

Like a confederacy of the wrong

And I confess it could be prejudice

But to you I dedicate this song

Yeah to you
