LYRICS

I don't know what the world may need
But I'm sure as hell that it starts with me
And that's a wisdom I have laughed at
I don't know what the world may want
But a good stiff drink it surely don't
So I think I'll go and fix myself a tall one

Cuz what the world needs now
Is a new kind of tension
Cuz the old one just bores me to death
Cuz what the world needs now
Is another folk singer
Like I need a hole in my head

I don't know what the world may need
But a V8 engine's a good start for me
Think I'll drive to find a place to be surly
I don't know what the world may want
But some words of wisdom could comfort us
Think I'll leave that up to someone wiser

Cuz what the world needs now
Are some true words of wisdom
Like "La la la la la"
Cuz what the world needs now
Is another folk singer
Like I need a hole in my head

I don't know what the world may need
And I never grasped your complexities
I'd be happy just to get your attention
I don't know what the world may want
But your long, sweet body lying next to mine
Could certainly raise my spirits

Cuz what the world needs now
Is a new Frank Sinatra
So I can get you in bde
Cuz what the world needs now
Is another folk singer
Like I need a hole in my head
