Analysis of I don't get this world
Where money can straighten all curves,
And make all lines curved;
Where there’s absolutely no justice:
I don’t get this world.
A world where everything is so unfair;
Where everything is sold
To those who have the money to buy:
I don’t get this world.
Perhaps my life is but a long nightmare;
I’d wake up to find a better world:
For this isn’t how the world should be.
I don’t get this world.
