The are despots and dictators
Political manipulators
There are blue bloods with the intellects of fleas
There are kings and petty tyrants
Who are so lacking in refinements
They'd be better suited swinging from the trees
He was born and raised to rule
No one has ever been this cool
In a thousand years of aristocracy
An enigma and a mystery
In Meso American History
The quintessence of perfection that is he
He's the sovereign lord of the nation
He's the hippest dude in creation
He's a hep cat in the emperor's new clothes
Years of such selective breeding
Generations have been leading
To this miracle of life that we all know
What's his name?
Kuzco, Kuzco (That's his name)
Kuzco (He's the king of the world)
Kuzco, Kuzco (Is he hip or what?)
Kuzco (Ya)
He's the sovereign lord of the nation
He's the hippest cat in creation
He's the alpha, the omega, a to z
And this perfect world will spin
Around his every little whim
'Cos this perfect world begins and ends with
What's his name?
Kuzco, Kuzco, Kuzco
Kuzco (That's his name)
Kuzco, Kuzco (Is he hip or what)
kuzco (Don't you know he's the king of the world?)
Kuzco-(oh ya)-oooo (ow!)
We get to be a ripple in the water
We get to be a rock that's thrown
We get to be a boy on the bridge
Standing over the reservoir
I see the water lapping on the shoreline
Buried forest of a man made lake
Cemeteries are laying underneath it
Your heart like a damn embrace
We're floating we're swimming
And at this moment we are forgetting
What we caused what it takes
The one perfect world when we look the other way
I'm okay if I don't look a little closer
I'm okay I if don't see beyond the shore
I'm okay I don't have to do the killing or
Know what the killing is for
We're talking we're driving
And in this moment we are denying
What we caused what it takes
The one perfect world when we look the other way
One perfect world...when we look the other way
You can see beyond the middle isolation
And the miracle of daybreak doesn't move you anymore
Connect the points and then see the constellations
As the night comes down on the reservoir
We're swimming we're floating
And in this moment we are beholden
To what we've caused to what it takes
The one perfect world
Can we learn to live another way
Perfect world...can we learn to live another way
One...perfect world
by Bob Hartman
Based on Isaiah 65:17
Some believe this world is bound to get much better
They think utopia is just around the bend
They like humanity to come up with the answers
So they can keep their heads safely buried in the sand
This is my Father's world and He can fix it
Our hopeless band-aids are all counterfeit
In a perfect world, God's throne will come
In a perfect world, in a perfect world
In a perfect world ruled by His Son
In a perfect world, in a perfect world
Some still worship Mother Nature in her glory
They do a good thing when they stand up for her right
But Mother Nature has a Father in the heavens
And His creation went astray but never left His sight
The old will pass away and bring a new birth
A whole new heaven and a new earth
(Chorus)
In a perfect world, in a perfect world
In a perfect world, in a perfect world
Kingdom come
His will be done
On the earth
As it is in heaven
Till we come to where there is no night
And the Lord Himself will be our light
(Chorus)
First, they dropped the bomb
Then came the disease
Then death
This our world
Your world, my world
I like this world!
Yo, on foreign land keep your toast up, hot rocks
Catch a close up your snot box, broke up
Land shark, tryin to post up, reptiles
Trying to throw cub with crooked smiles
Take your kindness for weakness, yhey foul
New York niggas be lovin how the gun talk, POW!
Another underboss pull a doublecross
Niggas ain't ready for the holocaust here and now
Want them games people play, catch these bullets over Broadway
Twenty-five to life up in Rahway get caught
Look deep into the black thought, a holy war is being fought
on Allah's court, my perfect world (if you will)
Mr. Sandman, bring 'em a dream, infa-red light beams
Homicide scene, perfect world
By any means get cream
Just don't let it come between you and I, seen
Everything is everything in this three ringed, circus
Peoples is swift, tryin to work us, lord
with devil worship and satanic verses
It takes place in the world, perfect, mine and yours
Heard when it rains, it pours
I came to bring the pain once more (once more)
Pedal to the floor, peep the Jim Crow law
The Big Apple, rotten to the core
These niggaz want war? (GIVE EM WAR)
They schemin and I-Beam'n
Hitmen like cryin freeman, they need cleanin
Keep it comin til they all runnin, screamin, bloody murder
At war with them inner demons, it's goin down
Invasion, U.S.A., spittin rounds
If these shells hit the battleground, pave the way
for birth of a Generation, X
Spoken with a project dialect, bomb threat
to the air waves, hit the deck
Pressed for time in a world lacking sunshine
Got love for my family, cause they mine
See niggaz dying in the streets over petty crimes
We gonna eat, or die tryin, got my mind made up
Young buck, just don't give a fuck, pressin they luck
When they best, best to give it up, perfect world
Baby what? Nigga head or gut, them or us
Welcome to the dark ages, dirty pages
Of filth, fine filth flavors
Dust to dust, and ashes to ashes, life flashes
Right before his eyes, then he passes
While the 666 got more tricks
Than the PD's got bricks
From bloods and crips
To pips with mints
We still lickin the scars from whips on slave ships
Mr. Sandman, bring 'em a dream, infa-red light beams
Homicide scene, perfect world
By any means get cream
Just don't let it come between you and I, seen
Everything is everything in this three ringed, circus
Peoples is swift, tryin to work us, lord
with devil worship and satanic verses
It takes place in the world, perfect, mine and yours
Uhh.. the children are the future
Here I lie, feel like crying
It's no surprise, I just keep on trying
If you're out there somewhere tonight
Would you think of me, ooo-eee
Baby we live in two separate worlds
Sure ain't living in a perfect world
So I'm calling out wherever you may be
Ooo-eee
I'm all alone
Remember your touch
I'm all alone
I think I love you too much
And I know wherever you are tonight
You'll begin to see
Baby we live in two separate worlds
Sure ain't living in a perfect world
So I'm calling out wherever you may be
Ooo-eee
So you're in the country
Where the air is so pure
You know that's me who's knocking
Baby, knocking on your door And if you're flying in a plane
High up in the sky
You know I'm calling out your name
You know that baby I'm your guy, yeah
Miles between us
And we count the days
Miles between us
And there's two separate ways
I'm with you even when you're far away
Baby we live in two separate worlds
Sure ain't living in a perfect world
So I'm calling out wherever you may be
Oh, oh, oh
Baby we live in two separate worlds

Boo boo boo, take a look at you
Hangin' on third and daisy
Whoa bo bo, policeman after you
Smokin' crack cocaine make you crazy
You think everything's perfect in your world today
I think everything's just not really
Take out your glass pipe, take off your sunglasses
And tell me what you can see
And I say lies, corruption, look this way
Girly on the corner but she's not okay
You got lies if you got rats in the street
You got, no shoes no shoes on your babies feet
Whoa ho ho ho ho
It's a perfect world, perfect world
It's a perfect world
It's a perfect world, yow
Bo bo bo take a look at you on your way to Kenny's
Whoa bo bo, why don't you stop that crap?
Smokin' that bum makes you crazy
But everything's crazy in the world today
So you, you might as well smoke it anyway
I say, you might as well
It hit, it lit, you well like that
Which you cannot say
What is up? What's down?
What is up? What's down?
What's up, what's down?
I don't know what's going round
Head is spinning and it feels alright
But the kids, the kids
The kids are alright
Bo bo bo bo
It's a perfect world
Whoa on and on it's a perfect world
Gotta keep living in a perfect world
Gotta keep pushing in a perfect world
Gotta keep pushing in a perfect world
Gotta keep pushing
Here I lie, feel like crying
It's no surprise, I just keep on trying
If you're out there somewhere tonight
Would you think of me, ooo-eee
Baby we live in two separate worlds
Sure ain't living in a perfect world
So I'm calling out wherever you may be
Ooo-eee
I'm all alone
Remember your touch
I'm all alone
I think I love you too much
And I know wherever you are tonight
You'll begin to see
Baby we live in two separate worlds

Calling out wherever you may be
Calling out wherever you may be
Calling out wherever you may be
Calling out wherever you may be
Calling out wherever you may be
if i lived in a perfect world
i would spend my days lying in the sun
the party never ends in a perfect world
if your life has hit the skids
wave goodbye to the wife & kids
i'm ready to move into a perfect world
nacho cheese and anarchy
boy that sure sounds good to me
every kind of drug is free
in the new america
shoot your pistol in the air
celebrate a brand new year
living leisurely in a perfect world
everybody's drinking hams
good by all you straight edge bands
sit around and get a tan
in the new america
when i turn on my t.v.
nothing but pornography
no more rated "g" in a perfect world
strung out hookers everywhere
have a picnic feed the bears
now nobody even cares
in the new america
nothing in this worlds for free
cause everything belongs to me
What a pretty life you have
Oh boy, it's a pretty life you have
And I would need a map
Just so I could navigate the backyard
Home is very ordinary
I know I was born to lead a double life
Of murder, strife, and misery
And when I find it, I know I'll make sense of me
I wanna be cool, tall, vulnerable, and luscious
I would have it all if I'd only had this much
No need for Lucifer to fall if he'd learn to keep his mouth shut
I would be involved, be involved, be involved, be involved
I would be involved with you
I know the girls that live inside your world
Just sitting next to a mortal makes their skin crawl
I wanna be cool, tall, vulnerable, and luscious
I would have it all if I'd only had this much
No need for Lucifer to fall if he'd learn to keep his mouth shut
I would be involved with you
I wanna be cool, tall, vulnerable, and luscious
I would have it all if I'd only had this much
No need for Lucifer to fall if he'd learn to keep his mouth shut
I would be involved, be involved, be involved, be involved
I would be involved with you
I never could’ve seen this far
I never could’ve seen this coming
Seems like my world’s falling apart
Yeah
Why is everything so hard
I don’t think I can deal with the things you said
It just won’t go away
In a perfect world
This could never happen
In a perfect world
You’d still be here
And it makes no sense
I could just pick up the pieces
But to you
This means nothing
Nothing at all
I used to think that I was strong
Until the day it all went wrong
I think I need a miracle to make it through
Yeah
I pictured I could bring you back
I pictured I could turn back time
Cuz I can’t let go
I just can’t find my way
Yeah
Without you I just can’t find my way
In a perfect world
This could never happen
In a perfect world
You’d still be here
And it makes no sense
I could just pick up the pieces
But to you
This means nothing
Nothing at all
I don’t know what I should do now
I don’t know where I should go
I’m still here waiting for you
I’m lost when you’re not around
I need to hold on to you
I just can’t let you go
Yeah
Yeah
In a perfect world
This could never happen
In a perfect world
You’d still be here
And it makes no sense
I could just pick up the pieces
But to you
This means nothing
Nothing at all
Nothing, nothing at all
They say the time has come for us to start again
I believe that's true
They say the time has come for us to make amends
And I believe that too
Why tell me why?
Is it all so hard to find?
I pray each day
For a perfect world
Where children are laughing
Lovers romancing
Time stands still
A perfect world
There's nothing to cry for
No on to die for
Wonderful
In a perfect world
Our father's father says that things were better than
How easy they forget
On every page in every book of history a thousand tears were shed
There's hope in our hearts and love in our eyes
Day after day I keep searching
Why tell me why
Is it all so hard to find?
I pray each day
For a perfect world...
Travel cross the seven seas to be with you
Passion and desire will see me through
The road that I must travel will eind and curl
Everybody's dreamin' 'bout a perfect world
Where you could have everthing your heart desires
A perfect boy will meet a perfect girl
And the perfect love will set the world on fire
Well what you ganna do, when one and one makes three
And a vision of the future is impossible to see
Nobody's perfect, not even a perfect fool,
But if you'll have faith in me
I'll keep faith in you
Ain't no livin' in a perfect world
There ain't no perfect world anyway
Ain't no livin' in a perfect world
But we'll keep on dreamin' of livin' in a perfect world
Keep on dreamin' of livin' in a perfect world
Everybody's got secrets, now you know that it's true
They talk about me and they'll talk about you
Something happens to the pledges of trust
Down through the years they begin to rust
Now here we are amid the tears and the laughter
Still waiting for our happily ever after
We'll keep on dreamin' as long as we can
Try to remember and you'll understand
Ain't no lvin' in a perfect world
There ain't no perfect world anyway
Ain't no livin' in a perfect world
But we'll keep on dreamin' of livin' in a perfect world
Keep on dreamin' of livin' in a perfect world
White girl, in a perfect world
You?d trust in your lover
Will boys ever be boys again
Blond boy, in a perfect world you?d know if
You loved her
Will girls ever be girls again
Black boy, in a perfect world there?d
Be understanding
Still you?re perfect ?cause you love your girl
Black girl, in a perfect world there?d
Be no demanding
Still you?re perfect ?cause you love your man
It don?t make no difference
Boys of London, girls of Memphis
We are all a revolution in this jaded institution
In the New York times
To the L. A. coast
They go bump to bump
In the perfect world
For the perfect boy and the perfect girl
They go bump to bump in the perfect world
Black girl, in a perfect world you?d know
That I love ya
And everyone would understand
White boy, in a perfect world you?d
Need no protection
And love would still be something in heart
White girl, in a perfect world there?d
Be understanding
And boys would be boys again
Black girl, in a perfect world you?d know
That I love ya
And everyone would understand
It don?t make no difference
Boys of London, girls of Memphis
We are all a revolution in this jaded institution
In the New York times
To the L. A. coast
They go bump to bump
In the perfect world
For the perfect boy and the perfect girl
Well, I know what it is
But I don't know where it is, where it is
Well, I know where it is
But I don't know what it looks like, what it looks like
Well, I know what it looks like
But I don't know where she comes from
Well, I know where she comes from
But I don't know what's her name
And she said
This is a perfect world
Riding on an incline
I'm staring in your face
You'll photograph mine
And I've been walking, talking
Believing the things that are true
And I've been finding the difference
Between right and wrong, bad and good
See me put things together
Put them back where they belong
Am I just like the others?
Have I always been singing the same song
She said
This is a perfect world
Riding on an incline
I'm staring in your face
You'll photograph mine
Somebody said that it happens all over the world
I do believe that it's true and the sun's coming up
And we're doing all the things that we should
Doesn't everybody here believe in the things we do?
And she said
This is a perfect world
Riding on an incline
I'm staring in your face
You'll photograph mine
It's a strange situation, what's wrong with you?
Baby, baby, baby
What you doing in my house?
And it's all true there's nothing wrong with you
And I said
This is a perfect world
Riding on an incline
I'm staring in your face

Little White House in a little old town
Stuck in the middle of nowhere
Stars shine bright when the sun goes down
It's a perfect world as long as you're there
Count my blessings and save my prayers
Love waking up in the morning
Sunlight shining upon your hair
And you're lying next to me
Blue sky over fields of green
I'm as happy as I've ever been
One thing makes it all so clear
It's a perfect world as long as you're there
Count my blessings and save my prayers
Love waking up in the morning
Sunlight shining upon your hair
And you're lying next to me
Count my blessings and save my prayers
Love waking up every morning
The sun is shining upon your hair
When you're lying next to me and it's where I wanna be
Don't wanna live near the lights of the city
I like it right where I am
Just to be part of a woman in love
With the heart of a simple man, hmm
Count my blessings and save my prayers
Love waking up in the morning
Sunlight shining upon your hair
And you're lying next to me
Count my blessings and save my prayers
Love waking up in the morning
The sun is shining upon your hair
When you're lying next to me and it's where I wanna be
Oh, when you're next to me
I'm exactly where I wanna be
Oh, when you're next to me
I'm exactly where I wanna be
Oh, when you're next to me
I'm exactly where I wanna be
Oh, when you're next to me
I'm exactly where I wanna be
Oh, when you're next to me
we had all the time in the world
it seemed like forever
it seemed like forever
in a perfect messed up world
it seemed like forever
it seemed like forever
I guess you told me
the way it would be
I didn't want to believe you
I just couldn't see
I just fall into feelings
I was feeling kinda down
I just thought you'd want me
but you don't need me
things we made are here
hold me together
hold me together
and I'm thinking of all the things you said
our time together seemed like forever
seemed like forever
seemed like forever
I guess you told me
the way it would be
I didn't want to believe you
I just couldn't see
I just fall into feelings
I was feeling kinda lonely
oh, I just thought you'd want me
but you don't need me
things we had made are here
hold me together
hold me together
and I think of all the things we've seen
our time together
seemed like forever
seemed like forever
All we shared was a mattress, and a lie, and an address
Baby I don't need you, well baby I don't need you
Once occupied by a goddess, now it's a room full of boxes
She said, "it's time to leave you" but baby I don't need you!
In a perfect world... her face would not exist
In a perfect world... a broken heart is fixed
In a perfect world... I'd see no therapist
In a perfect world... this wouldn't make me sick
I never got the whole story, not 'til after she left me
Baby I don't need you, well baby I don't need you
Word on the street is she fucked him, while we were playing in Cleveland
Well baby I don't need you, you're fading in my rearview
In a perfect world... her face would not exist
In a perfect world... a broken heart is fixed
In a perfect world... I'd see no therapist
In a perfect world... this wouldn't make me sick
She pulls the trigger until the gun goes click!
She pulls the trigger until the gun goes click!
In a perfect world... her face would not exist
In a perfect world... this wouldn't make me sick!
Control-Alt-Deleted
Control-Alt-Deleted
Control-Alt-Deleted
Reset my memory!
In a perfect world... her face would not exist
In a perfect world... a broken heart is fixed
In a perfect world... I'd see no therapist
In a perfect world... this wouldn't make me sick
She pulls the trigger until the gun goes click!
She pulls the trigger until the gun goes click!
She pulls the trigger until the gun goes click!
Everybody's looking for the perfect world
Where you could have everything your heart desires
The perfect boy will meet the perfect girl
And the perfect love will set the world on fire
Well what you gonna do, when one and one makes three
And a vision of the future is impossible to see
Nobody's perfect, not even a perfect fool
If you'll have faith in me
I'll keep faith with you
Ain't no livin' in a perfect world
There ain't no perfect world anyway
Ain't no livin' in a perfect world
But we'll keep on dreamin' of livin' in a perfect world
Keep on dreamin' of livin' in a perfect world
Everybody's got secrets, now you know that it's true
They talk about me and they'll talk about you
Something happens to the pledges of trust
Down through the years they begin to rust
Now here we are amid the tears and the laughter
Still waiting for our happily ever after
We'll keep on dreamin' as long as we can
Try to remember and you'll understand
Ain't no livin' in a perfect world
There ain't no perfect world anyway
Ain't no livin' in a perfect world
But we'll keep on dreamin' of livin' in a perfect world
Keep on dreamin' of livin' in a perfect world
Ain't no livin' in a perfect world
There ain't no perfect world anyway
Ain't no livin' in a perfect world
But we'll keep on dreamin' of livin' in a perfect world
Keep on dreamin' of livin' in a perfect world
Keep on dreamin' of livin' in a perfect world
Keep on dreamin' of livin' in a perfect world
(Mark Slaughter, Dana Strum)
You know my life has been through some changes
Seems some people don't want to hear my point of view
Lots of others, lots of others think that we got lucky
But you know brother, we all have to pay our dues
[CHORUS]
But the world's got problems and that's a fact
Let's open up our eyes
That's what matters, let's cut the slack
And let's all realize
If we all could stand together
And we all could live as one
If we stop all this fighting and set all our sights on love
It'll be a perfect world
>From L.A. to New York City
There's a day in day out routine of what you've got to do
Please allow me to make a suggestion
Do whatever, whatever, whatever you've got to do
To make it through
Somewhere between a lie and truth
Lies a subtle line of gray and
Although it's undetectable
It's reflected in all we say
We don't want to hate or judge each other
We just want to live our lives
To save ourselves, we must seek the truth
And recognize these rites
I have my motivation, prejudice and pain
I will not live my life, live my life in vain
I have my motivation, prejudice and pain
No, I will not live my life, live my life in vain
This more-than-human condition
A denial of our flaws
We want the effects of perfection
But disregard the cause
A simple mistaken judgment
An unmistakable fact of life
We want to say we can do no wrong
But wrong's what defines right
In a perfect world, in a perfect world
In a perfect world that I can't live
In a perfect world, in a perfect world
In a perfect world that I can't live
In a perfect world, in a perfect world
In a perfect world that I can't live
We're fallible, we're so fragile
We suffer for our sins
We have to learn to learn from our mistakes
And somehow make amends
Stress and instability
Depression and dismay
We want to live without regrets
But there is no other way
Here on the other side
You've found a place to hide
So wave goodbye to your wasted life
You never seem to care
If God can hear your prayers
There's no sign of angels in the air
So light my way
And wish me sunny days
A wish will be reborn to a perfect world
So dry your tears
And tear up all your fears
A wish will be reborn to a perfect day
You always plead for time
To say what's on your mind
You're always scared
But making out you're fine
You leave no one to cry
On the day you die
They hate you more than you hate to be alive
So light my way
And wish me sunny days
A wish will be reborn to a perfect world
So dry your tears
And tear up all your fears

Everyday at school girl I see your smiling face. The teacher tries to call on me but i cant concentrate.
Im to busy thinking all about your face. I know I'm in love with you but you don't even know my name.
CHOROUS:
Girl meets boy. Boy meets girl. They could fall in love in a perfect world but if boy and girl never meet than a perfect
world could never be.
Come on girl. I love ya.
Every night I pray girl that you would notice me. I got a secret crush on you but we dont even speak.
I don't know my status or if 2 plus 2 is 5. But I know im in love with you and you dont even know Im alive
Chrous:
Girl meets boy. Boy meets girl. They could fall in love in a perfect world but if boy and girl never meet than a perfect
world could never be.
Everybody's looking for
the perfect world
Where you could have
everything you heart desires
A perfect boy will meet a perfect girl
and their perfect love will
set the world on fire
What you gonna do
when one and one makes three?
And a vision of the future
is impossible to see
Nobody's perfect not even a perfect fool
If you'll have faith in me
I'll keep the faith in you
(chorus)
Ain't no living in a perfect world
There ain't no perfect world anyway
Ain't no living in a perfect world
But we'll keep on dreaming of
living in a perfect world
Keep on dreaming of living
in a perfect world
Everybody's got secrets
you know that it's true
They talk about me and
they'll talk about you
Something happens to the pledges of trust
down through the years they begin to rust
Now here we are amid the tears and the laughter
still waiting for our happily ever after
We'll keep on dreaming as long as we can
try to remember and to understand
(chorus)
But we'll keep on dreaming of
living in a perfect world
Woh woh woh you and I
Keep on dreaming of living
in a perfect world
(instrumental)
Oh you gotta keep believin'
(chorus)
But we'll keep on dreaming of
living in a perfect world
Keep on dreaming of living
in a perfect world
Woh woh woh you and I
Keep on dreaming of living
in a perfect world
Keep on dreaming of living
in a perfect world
Keep on dreamin'
Now when the night falls
I won't be there
To cast a shadow on your wall
Why do we act this way
Somehow the light of day
Makes our troubles seem so small
We live and die like this
I dare you to fight for it
Chorus:
In a perfect world
It wouldn't be too late to make it right
In a perfect world
I'd be holding you so very tight, ahh ah
In our perfect world tonight
If you lay down your shield
I won't hurt you
Just let me show you how I feel
Down deep inside my heart
You know you left your mark
No one can say that it's not real
We live and die like this
I dare you to fight for it this time
Chorus
The wheel keeps turnin'
And we're burnin' in the flames
It's not wrong to hold on to love
And let go of the pain
Your money isn't power so forget the green
Its just feeding the fuel
What makes the world go round?
The same thing that lights the flame to burn it down
Its a capitol branwash you must have avouch
Call it your purse, more like suicide pouch
Paper ain't a mean to pacify
When your wisdom is in your wallet you can kiss your ass good-bye
Rectify, this living policy is shit
And all its lies got you choking on your own spit
The seam has split, so spit or swallow
But your lead i'll never follow
So you can wallow in your own chaotic world
A puzzle pieced by our imperfections
Close your eyes, seal your lips, walk in fear
Now do you see what i can see?
Can you hear what I hear?
Your fucking trophies, your sexual treasures
Just hide the pain beneath your simple pleasures
Desperate measures for desperate times
Searching for answers it won't let you find
It seeks to bind and then steal tomarrow
Your heart is hallow, your mind is fried
Soul is void, flat-lines will never lie
(chorus)
Despite your actions i will persevere
Now do you see what I see?
Can you hear what I hear?
Hate, rage, greed, sin
Ripples in the water, wrinkles in the skin
Our own little perfect world
A puzzle pieced by our imperfections
We see no evil, we hear no evil
For every bridge you burn, you've got a lot to show
Before I repave the streets and roads to my home.
So hang your head and shut your mouth, swallow your own pride
'Cause in the end you're the weaker man who drowned in his own lies.
In your perfect world, yeah,
Nothing's ever gonna change.
In your perfect world yeah,
You'll always hide from the pain.
In your perfect...
We've got the amps up loud and we're ready to go
Show me what you've got or is it another show?
So hang your head and shut your mouth, swallow your own pride
'Cause in the end you're the weaker man who drowned in his own lies.
In your perfect world
Nothing's ever gonna change.
In your perfect world yeah,
Always hide from the pain.
In your perfect...
In your perfect world
Nothing's gonna change.
In your perfect world
Always hide from your pain
In your perfect world
It's all the same
In a perfect world
There are no sinners
Every daddy comes home
Nobody's alone
Every bottle caps a winner
In a perfect world
Every boy’s got a pony
Every heart we try to win
Won't say "Can't we just be friends?"
Nobody’s fake or phony.
CHORUS
We don't have a perfect world
We’ll soon see a perfect world
God’s designed a perfect world
No tears in the perfect world
I believe the perfect God will one day
Take me to a perfect world
There’s a perfect world
No more rejection
All the broken homes
Replaced by the love
Of a father’s affection
In a perfect world
Could you imagine
No bills to pay
No wicked ways
In a perfect world
It would never end like this
There'd be something
We could do
In a perfect world
Lovers wake up with a kiss
And their wishes all come true
But here we are
I thought you belonged to me
It seemed like the
Perfect arrangement
Ain't it funny when you find
How wrong you can be cause
Oh, this ain't no perfect world
I've got my problems
No, this ain't no perfect world
You've got your problems, too
Now what do we do
In a perfect world
I'd have been the boy you need
I'd have been somebody else
In a perfect world
You'd have been the girl for me
Yeah, you could have
Been yourself
You see, we're dying for love
But we're afraid to drop our guard
We're lost in a world gone crazy
Where the men won't grow up
And the women get so hard
Oh, this ain't no perfect world
And I've got my problems
No, this ain't no perfect world
Cause you've got your problems too
Now what do we do
I don't know
If we wind up friends
I don't know
If we wind up strangers
Cause I never had to
Walk away from anybody
I wanted as much
As I wanted you
Oh, this ain't no perfect world
Cause I've got my problems
Oh, this ain't no perfect world
Cause you've got your problems too
Oh, this ain't no perfect world
Oh, no, no
Oh, this ain't no perfect world
You got your problems
I got mine
Sorry I didn't like your point of view
Didn't mean to upset you or hurt you
Find it hard to tell those sweet little lies
Always finding fault when I could compromise
I just want a perfect world
Sorry I don't see life the way you do
If I could I'd be just the same as you
Every day parade the things I feel inside
Not be frightened by the doubt that I can't hide
I just want a perfect world
Something beautiful preserved
And to take what we've been given's
A trick I've never learned
So the world falls off around you
You're standing on the edge
Know you'll fall it just hasn't happened yet
And there's no-one left to catch you
And even if there were
You're not sure you could repay such a debt
But I just can't seem to shake
The old pursuits of youth
Simple need to be
The seeker after truth
I just want a perfect world
Dumbest thing you ever heard
But to take what we've been given's
Wherever you run to
I'm gonna follow you
Past the belfry and into the city
I'll find out where you are
Jump into someone's car
And bring you back home
If you run to the west coast
I'll call from my eastern side
I'll find out where you are
You know I could find a ride
And if this one thing's true
I know that I'll find you and bring you back home
And so the town was talking
So you started walking
The town was talking
So you started walking
In a perfect world
I'd be your only girl
And we wouldn't have to keep it
Just a dirty little secret
You're not where you're meant to be
That's right in front of me
'Cause you went off your own way
Because I couldn't make you stay
But I want to make it right
I'll look for you every night
And bring you back home
But I've seen the loneliest hearts in my travels
They're waiting around while this whole thing unravels
And I've seen the loneliest hearts in my travels
But I don't want that for myself
I know I've messed up
When you say you've had enough
And that you couldn't be with me
But I want to make you see
That I'll always love you dear
Let me make one thing clear
I'll bring you back home
Yes I'll always love you dear
And let me make one thing clear
It's not what you have that makes me love you
Clothes that you're wearing don't mean nothing
Money in your pocket can't buy me
And your love, I thought it was for free
In a perfect world, baby
I would've found you long ago
But I'm willing and ready
To give you my all love, don't you know
Oh, what I'm feeling, something real
Baby, don't you knowyou're all I need
It's not what you do that makes me want you
If you're happy, I am too
Not the people that you're with 'cause I'm with you
Baby, don't you know love shines through it all
In a perfect world, baby
I would've found you long ago
But I'm willing and ready
To give you my all love, don't you know
Oh, what I'm feeling, something real
Baby, don't you know you're all I need
Feels like I've been in a slumber
Now I've woken
Which feels like I've never said a word
Now I've spoken
'Cause baby, you set me free
In a perfect world, baby
I would've found you long ago
But I'm willing and ready
To give you my all love, don't you know
Oh, what I'm feeling, something real
Baby, don't you know you're all I need
In a perfect world, baby
I would've found you long ago
But I'm willing and ready, oh I, oh I
Oh, I'm ready
I would've found you, ooh baby
Oh oh! Oh oh oh oh! Oh!
Beauty in the mirror
You see what I see
I can see all that you want from me
I hear something strong, yeah!
It sounds like my name
But if I ain't sad
Are ya talking to me?
You say the sun's brighter
The moonlights behind ya
The world's a playground
Pick a right and you'll see
Sometimes you'll go up and
Sometimes you'll go down then
Sometimes you must fly
So that you can be free
When you feel you took your last breath
I promise you got more left
There's a chance if you take it
Don't be afraid to just dance
Look, look at me now! (Look at me now)
I'm starting to be stronger
There's no time to stop now, no!
Oh! I'm touching the clouds
I'm flying higher and higher
I'm not trying to come down
Can you look at me now?
Can you look at me now?
Nothing's impossible
The spark is in you
Light up the whole world
And just look, look, look at me now
When I look up at the stars
Even though they may be far away
It's okay, I can reach them
Won't ever change who I am
I'll make the world understand me
From beginning to end, end!
Oooohhh!
Look, look at me now! (Look at me now)
I'm starting to be stronger
There's no time to stop now, no!
Oh! I'm touching the clouds
I'm flying higher and higher
I'm not trying to come down
Can you look at me now?
Can you look at me now?
Nothing's impossible
The spark is in you
Light up the whole world
I can't believe all the games you played
You had it all and then threw it away
Maybe I'd still be your girl, huh
If we were living in a perfect world
C'mon, c'mon...
It's a thin line
Between reality and fantasy
You could've been mine
But it's over now
It wasn't meant to be
It's a hate crime (hate crime)
Anyone could see
The way you treated me
Do I look like I was born yesterday-ay-ay...
It could've wind up more, but I caught your play-ay-ay...
If we were living in a perfect world
You would never disrespect your girl
You know better than to lie to me
You play your games but my eyes can see
If we were living in a fairy tale
And I was wishing at a wish and well
Maybe I'd still be your girl
If we were living in a perfect world
Do you realize
That you had the best
And now you failed the test
You had the first prize (first prize)
And threw it all away
Now there's a price to pay
Look at my eyes (look at my eyes)
And you know it's coming
Before I close the door
The judge and jury have said it's true...
You're guilty of breaking my heart in two...
If we were living in a perfect world
You would never disrespect your girl
You know better than to lie to me
You play your games but my eyes can see
If we were living in a fairy tale
And I was wishing at a wish and well
Maybe I'd still be your girl
If we were living in a perfect world
Yeah in a perfect world
Living, living, living in a perfect world
Yeah if we were living in a perfect world
Too bad (too bad)
You're sorry now (now)
What goes around comes around (around)
Watch out as the rain comes falling down...
Yeh yeah, yeh yeah...
Do I look like I was born yesterday-ay-ay...
It could've wind up more, but I caught your play-ay-ay...
If we were living in a perfect world
You would never disrespect your girl
You know better than to lie to me
You play your games but my eyes can see
If we were living in a fairy tale
And I was wishing at a wish and well
Maybe I'd still be your girl
If we were living in a perfect world
In a perfect world...
If we were living in a perfect world
(If we were living in a perfect world)
You would never disrespect your girl
You know better than to lie to me
(Don't lie to me)
You play your games but my eyes can see
If we were living in a fairy tale
And I was wishing at a wish and well
Maybe I'd still be your girl
Im missing you today,
Knowing your so far away.
Im missing you,
And I wish to be with you.
Im missing you tonight,
By you I pray to do right.
Im missing you,
And I want to kiss you.
(Chorus)
Before I fall asleep tonight,
Knowing your the best thing of my life.
I look to the sky and count the stars,
Amd I wonder which one you are.
Oh I miss my girl,
Such a perfect world.
Im missing you right now,
And try to figure how.
To make sense of love,
Its you I see to heaven above.
(Chorus)
Right now Im missing you,
I wish I was with you.
In your eyes I see the moon,
To see you its never to soon.
(Chorus 2x)
Oh my girl was the cost,
and such a perfect world I lost.
Oh I miss my girl,
I lost such a perfect world.
A perfect world,
All alone the ballerina dances before my eyes
She turns her head away but as the music plays she cries
If only I could make her see this prison that is keeping me
Outside
In her perfect world
She could show me how
Find my way to love
Find my way to love
I'll walk a thousand miles
Under starless skies
Till I find my way to love
In between these walls that
Cage me in I feel her breath
Her sadness enters me
As I watch the winter leaves fall on her dress
The vision in my mind's so real
I still can't conceal my emptiness
In her perfect world
She would show me how
Find my way to love
Find my way to love
I'll walk a thousand miles
Under starless skies
Till I find my way to love
In between these walls that
When time and space
Lose their boundaries.
When past, present and future unite.
When my soul reaches eternity
Then my world starts leading
Out to the perfect way.
War - a terrible memory
Agony - forever extinguished
Fear - vanished from my soul
Greed - a forgotten concept
Close your eyes and start dreaming.
Dreaming of a perfect world
A world that probably never exists.
Look out for the perfect world inside
Your soul.
When time and space
Lose their boundary
When past, present and future unite.
When my soul reaches eternity
Then my world starts leading
Out to the perfect way.
War - a terrible memory
Agony - forever extinguished
Fear - vanished from my soul
There are despots and dictators
Political manipulators
There are blue bloods with the intellects of fleas
There are kings and petty tyrants
Who are so lacking in refinements
They'd be better suited swinging from the trees
He was born and raised to rule
No one has ever been this cool
In a thousand years of aristocracy
An enigma and a mystery
In Meso American History
The quintessence of perfection that is he
He's the sovereign lord of the nation
He's the hippest dude in creation
He's a hep cat in the emperor's new clothes
Years of such selective breeding
Generations have been leading
To this miracle of life that we all know
What's his name?
Kuzco, Kuzco, Kuzco...
He's the sovereign lord of the nation
He's the hippest cat in creation
He's the alpha, the omega, a to z
And this perfect world will spin
Around his every little whim
'Cause this perfect world begins and ends with him
What's his name?
Kuzco, Kuzco, Kuzco...

Today i told a lie that's worth believing
Today ill just be happy for no reason
I'm still waiting on the perfect drug
I feel really, i feel really numb
Hello to my drink that gives
Me wings where i have shoulders
We go so good together
Call mom and tell her i've fallen in love
I've fallen in love
Today i found a lie that's worth telling
Today ill just act pissed off for no reason
I'm still waiting on the perfect drug
I feel really, i feel really numb
Hello to my drink that gives
Me wings where i have shoulders
We go so good together
Call mom and tell her i've fallen in love
I've fallen in love
Fallen in love.....
Hello to my drink that gives
Me wings where i have shoulders
We go so good together
Call mom and tell her i've fallen in love
We're running around
and looking for path to paradise,
but some things dont want to be found
You've got to feel pain
to undersand all the goods of life
We need sun much more when it rains
The're is nowhere to run,
it is the perfect world
I want to see some action in my life,
it makes me feel alive
You want to know,
what happens on every move you make
That way you just cant be free
I need something real,
exciting and little bit dangerous
