Lyrics

[Verse 1] I can tell it wears you out You deserve better now But a loss is a loss Any old way [Verse 2] You played by the rules You kept every word But no one ever heard What you wanted to say [Chorus] It's a backwards world It's a backwards world Upstream is forward In a backwards world [Verse 3] When a man gets your respect You know it won't buy him much So maybe it's not Worth as much as it once was [Verse 4] If the total of it all Doesn't add up to an ounce So when [?], then what is it for? Yeah, what is it all for? [Chorus] It's a backwards world It's a backwards world Upstream is forward In our backwards world [Bridge] Is this truly my faith? Pray to the Lord my soul to take around, around, around If you don't show me sign Then it's up to me to find [Chorus] It's a backwards world It's a backwards world Upstream is forward In our backwards world
