Analysis of I don’t want to be part of that world
I don’t want to be where the people are, I don’t want to see their angry faces.
I don’t want to hear their loud voices, I don’t want to listen to their lousy cases.
I don’t want to be where they lie and hurt each other, doesn’t matter if it’s their sister or brother. Out where they steal, out where they kill, out where they think the only cure is a pill. Safe here in my house, just me and my spouse. Don’t want to be part of that world.
