Shape Of The World lyrics

Sometimes I'm an idiot Many of you know that by now Sometimes I am not But this is not as clear somehow So I go about my work Making my mistakes out loud Maybe everybody's failures Are in earshot of the crowd I'm sailing down to Panama Gonna run across the isthmus I had a heart for art's sake But no stomach for the business If I had a head for figures I would be another guy Instead of chopping up these onions and trying not to cry I could say I never sold out But that's a slogan of the poor Of course you learn the hard way Or you never know for sure Yes I am in trouble again And I've gone from bad to worse Maybe it's just the shape of the world I'm in Maybe it's just the shape of the world I'm in No I'm not a galley slave But that's become my role Still I can't complain too much In my high school Espanol I'm sailing down to Panama Gonna run across the isthmus I had a heart for art's sake But no stomach for the business Yes I am in trouble again And I've gone from bad to worse Maybe it just the shape of the world I'm in
