The World Is What You Make It

(Album: Life On The Flip Side - 2020)

I knew this African they call Hannibal
Rock it, roll it, send it down the avenue
Went out to see the Roman Empire fall
Two thousand elephants in gold chain-mail
Take it, shake it, make it what you wanna be
Them Roman legionnaires they hit the trail

The world is what you make it
The world is what you make it, baby
The world is what you make it

When Cleopatra ruled in Egypt's land
Jump down, turn around, look at what the monkey did
She went to find herself a mighty man
In comes Antonio from Italy
Haul it, ball it, drag it up the pyramid
He never knew how hot a girl could be

The world is what you make it
The world is what you make it, baby
The world is what you make it

Don't start to hit me with your "no can do"
Bluesing, losing, working up an attitude
Clean up them windows, let the sun shine through

There ain't no happy time without no pain
Heartbreak, new date, move on up the alleyway
Pick up the pieces, hit the road again
The world is what you make it
The world is what you make it, baby
The world is what you make it

The world is what you make it
The world is what you make it, baby
The world is what you make it
