Used to Rule the World Songtext

von Bonnie Raitt

Doctor Feelgood
Sleepin' on a concrete bench
Can i get a witness?
Miss South Carolina
Nineteen seventy-five
Somebody stole your crown

You were sleepin' in
Your happy home
When you woke up, baby,
You're life had come and gone

Now your mystified
Standin' with the rest of us
Who used to rule the world

Brother Lovejoy
Rappin' up a blue streak
Can I get a witness?
Miss Hurricane
Can't keep your hands still
Long enough to count your change

You were wrapped up
In your daily grind
The cost of livin',
It didn't even cross your mind

Now you're mystified
Standin' with the rest of us
Who used to rule the world

Mister Blueprint
Used to have it figured out
Now you can't find your car
Miss Cocktail Dress
Standin' at the bathroom sink
Lookin' for a back way out

You can't belive your very eyes
Everything that you were counting on
Is nothin' but a pack of lies

Now you're mystified
Standin' with the rest of us
Who used to rule the world

Now you're mystified
Standin' with the rest of us
Who used to rule
Used to rule
Used to rule the world
