The World Factbook (ISSN 1553-8133; also known as the CIA World Factbook) is a reference resource produced by the Central Intelligence Agency of the United States with almanac-style information about the countries of the world. The official paper copy version is available from the National Technical Information Service and the Government Printing Office. Other companies—such as Skyhorse Publishing—also print a paper edition. The Factbook is available in the form of a website, which is partially updated every week. It is also available for download for use off-line. It provides a two- to three-page summary of the demographics, geography, communications, government, economy, and military of 267 entities including U.S.-recognized countries, dependencies, and other areas in the world.
The World Factbook is prepared by the CIA for the use of U.S. government officials, and its style, format, coverage, and content are primarily designed to meet their requirements. However, it is frequently used as a resource for academic research papers. As a work of the U.S. government, it is in the public domain in the United States.
World is a common name for the whole of human civilization, specifically human experience, history, or the human condition in general, worldwide, i.e. anywhere on Earth.
In a philosophical context it may refer to: (1) the whole of the physical Universe, or (2) an ontological world (see world disclosure). In a theological context, world usually refers to the material or the profane sphere, as opposed to the celestial, spiritual, transcendent or sacred. The "end of the world" refers to scenarios of the final end of human history, often in religious contexts.
World history is commonly understood as spanning the major geopolitical developments of about five millennia, from the first civilizations to the present.
World population is the sum of all human populations at any time; similarly, world economy is the sum of the economies of all societies (all countries), especially in the context of globalization. Terms like world championship, gross world product, world flags etc. also imply the sum or combination of all current-day sovereign states.

I am so scared
I feel lonely
Why is the world such a fucked up place?
I am so down
I feel worn out
Why is the world such a fucked up place?
I am so sick
I feel burned out
Why is the world such a fucked up place?
I am so lost
I feel tied up
Why is the world such a fucked up place?
I am so hurt
I feel useless
I was holding up a cigarette and trying to find my mouth
Tyring hard to look so cool like any other ticket tout
People sipping on each other's blood, they're all out for the count
Talking turkey all around me, what are they all on about?
It's the world and all it's problems
The world and all it's problems
The world and all it's problems
I'm walking out it's past midnight, so I stay in the light
Please stop breathing on my shoulder, he's just trying to start a fight
He says "what was that you called me? " and something says I might
Just try to reason with him, where's the beaten track tonight?
(chorus)
Jesus gandhi's on a limb out where good guys don't go
Telling all these parables that everybody knows
And no-one wants to hear them cos he tells them all so slow
You can catch him on the news when he becomes a superhero
(chorus)
I'm sitting on your sofa
Thinking about how things rhyme
How I wish you'd plug the dansette in
And turn it up just one more time
One more time
Everybody wants all the truth but it's easier to lie
Me I love this girl called ruth, we had to say goodbye
I loved her so much sometimes that it made me wanna die
And I'd hate her so much sometimes and we knew the reason why
Hatred from your closed mind, nothing you think is gonna change,
your actions speak so loud, not gonna try a different way, we live together
We're worlds apart down on the streets because we're too proud,
no one will ever admit defeat
The world is a smoking gun that is loaded,
soon it's gonna blow you away but till now nobody has noticed
but we're goin' to have our say
Where do we draw the line, nobody seems to have a clue,
we're at each other's throats cause we don't share a point of view
so what's the problem, can't see beneath the shade of skin,
a vicious circle, a human race no one can win
The world is a smoking gun that is loaded,
soon it's gonna blow you away but till now nobody has noticed
but we're goin' to have our say
It's just a state of mind, it's not reality,
it's all psychosomatic static inhumanity,
a savage mental sickness that plagues the human race,
it's goin' to blow up in your face, the world is a smoking gun that is loaded,
soon it's gonna blow you away but till now nobody has noticed
but we're goin' to have (our say)
The world is a smoking gun that is loaded,
soon it's gonna blow you away but till now nobody has noticed

To the teller down at the bank
You're just another checking account
To the plumber that came today
You're just another house
At the airport ticket counter
You're just another fare
At the beauty shop at the mall
Well you're just another head of hair
Well that's alright, that's ok
If you don't feel important, honey
All I've got to say is
To the world
You may be just another girl
But to me
Baby, you are the world
To the waiter at the restaurant
You're just another tip
To the guy at the ice cream shop
You're just another dip
When you can't get reservations
'Cause you don't have the clout
Or you didn't get an invitation
'Cause somebody left you out
That's alright, that's ok
When you don't feel important honey
All I've got to say is
You think you're one of millions but you're one in a million to me
When you wonder if you matter, baby look into my eyes
And tell me, can't you see you're everything to me
That's alright, that's ok
When you don't feel important honey
The time is right for decision
The time is right for those with something to say
This is the world I envision
The type of world where people aren't afraid
What in the world have we done
What in the world...
The time is right for revision
The time is right for revolution today
This is a world in sedition
This is a world that hasn't found it's way
What in the world have we done
What in the world...
What in the world have we done
What in the world...
No time to fight for permission
No time is right for those who hesitate
This is a world in atrition
The world we live in is the world we make
What in the world have we done
What in the world...
What in the world have we done
The roll of distant thunder breaks
The afternoon of silence wakes
They hurry through from Petergate
As if they know this dance
In fury blind I drive at night
Across the moors, the open roads
Beneath the freezing starry skies
Racing in some trance
These cities are illusions of
Some triumph over Natureïs laws
Weïve seen the iron carcass rust
And buildings topple into dust
And as the waters rise it seems
We cling to all the rootless things
The Christian lies, technology
While spirits scream and sing ...
Oh God I love the world
Well I never said I was a clever man
But I know enough to understand
That the endless leaps and forward plans
Will someday have to cease
You blind yourselves with comfort lies
Like lightning never strikes you twice
And we laugh at your amazed surprise
As the Ark begins to sink
This temple that is built so well
To seperate us from ourselves
Is a power grown beyond control
A will without a face
And watching from outside I wish
That I could wash my hands of this
But we are locked together here
This bittersweet embrace ...
Oh God I love the world
And if one day the final fire
Explodes across the whitened sky
I know youïre said youïd rather die
And make it overfast
With courage from your bravest friends
Waiting outside for the end
With no bitterness but an innocence
That I canït seem to grasp
I know somehow I will survive
This fury just to stay alive
So drunk with sickness weak with pain
I can walk the hills one last time
Scarred and smiling, dying slow
Iïll scream to no one left at all
I told you so I told you so I told you so ...
Oh God I love the world

Lotta' paranoia everywhere
Take a look out your door
If it ain't the tube, it's the paper news
Third World War or church
They feed us all this phony propaganda
They pawn it off as food for thought
The swap meet world of oil and coal
No water, no jobs
Cost of dyin' keeps goin' up like everything else
Forefathers didn't foresee that there would be
Always less for kids
They left us a ball of clay to play with, yeah
We've all been judged, wasting our time in court
Beat down by the gravel several times before
Sitting in my cell while the world is spinning
But those ain't the bars that I like to hang out in
U.S, bombs the world
That's what the T.V said
U.S, bombs the world
The world, oh, oh, oh, the world
The world, oh, oh, oh
I smoked pot of blunt again for the pain to go away
But it wouldn't go away, just subsided through the haze
Just drifted off into deeper thought
I broke my mind and searched my heart
Finally what was blindin' me was just as clear as day
I figured out what's stressin' me, depressin' me
Mummy that man molesting me, oh no
Was only 5 years old, I couldn't seem to tell a soul
I didn't know how to let you and daddy know
And I can't go on like this
That's the type of thing that'd make you slash you wrists
But now that I realize this happened to me
I've gotta fight this
The devils are probably lyin', runnin' 'round and lyin'
Tryin' to move out is he gonna take my [Incomprehensible]?
Gotta get up, stand up, fight for hours
Every second of every minute and every hour I see your face
Help me with what happens in the world
Lesson number one the world ain't fair
It'll chew you up and it'll spit you out
So put your faith in it if you dare
The world
The world will put you right on top
Then snatch the bottom from under you
And just watch and laugh as you drop
The world
Lesson number one the world ain't fair
It'll chew you up and it'll spit you out
So put your faith in it if you dare
The world
Oh, the world will put you right on top
Then snatch the bottom from under you
And just watch and laugh as you drop
The world
Runnin' around the school as you tried committin' suicide
He asked what would make a 14 year old boy wanna take his life?
It'd be the fact that he got a dad who uses him as a punchin' bag
Beats him till he's blue and black and won't stop will he makes him cry
You kept it to yourself and made excuses for the bruises
Took painkillers to kill the pain from a daddy who's abusive
He was telling you, you were useless, never heard the words I love you
Made you feel like you were worthless, he's tryin' to save the trouble
And he can't go on like this
That's the type of thing that'd make you slash you wrists
Somebody shoulda told you that you're priceless
Put your faith in God and we can fight this
The devils are probably lyin', runnin' 'round and lyin'
Tryin' to move out, is he gonna take my [Incomprehensible]?
Gotta get up, stand up, fight for hours
Every second of every minute and every hour I see your face
Help me with what happens in the world

Oh, the world will put you right on top
Then snatch the bottom from under you
And just watch and laugh as you drop
The world
The world that we livin' in where we leave our babies
In the back seat of cars found my pass is blind
Desperate minds and emotional teenagers
Lookin' for love in all the wrong places
Love's so precious, don't ever wanna test it
Who's your momma? Who your daddy? You can't even tell
Your'e shinin' on, chattin', see news at eleven
Were all walking through this place with vain visions of heaven
The devils are probably lyin', runnin' 'round and lyin'
Tryin' to move out, is he gonna take my [Incomprehensible]?
Gotta get up, stand up, fight for hours
Every second of every minute and every hour I see your face
Help me with what happens in the world
The world, the world
The world, the world
The world, the world

The world, oh, oh, oh, the world
You've gotta hold, hold open my eyelids
If you're gonna shake, shake, shake 'til the morning
I'm gonna put, put things in perspective
And it's gonna take, take, take my precious time
All we need is a reason
For us to dance, dance, dance 'til the break of dawn
All I need is a hook now
For us to shout, shout, shout these words out
Cuz we're all, all, all
We're all...
You know we're all a part of the world, of course
If you know it sing out
Yeah, sing it out
I'm gonna snap back into formation
And get to work, work, work 'til the job gets done
Everyone's getting ready
Cuz they've been wait, wait, waiting for Friday night
All we need is a chance now
For, for us to get, get down in the after hours
All you need is a voice now
For us to shout, shout, shout these words out
Cuz we're all, all, all
We're all...
You know we're all a part of the world, of course
If you know it sing out
Yeah, sing it out
Cuz we're all a part
You know we're all a part of the world, of course
If you know it sing out
Yeah, sing it out
Work, work, work
Should, should, should
Good, good, good
I'm gonna keep it up, keep it up
Gonna keep it up, keep it up
Work, work, work if you
Should, should, should and you're
Good, good, good, all right now
Keep it up, keep it up, keep it
Cuz we're all, we're part
You know we're all a part of the world, of course
If you know it sing it out
Yeah, sing it cuz we're all, all, all
We're all
You know we're all a part of the world, of course
And if you're feeling me sing it out
Yeah, sing it cuz we're all
We're part
You know we're all a part of the world, of course
If you know it sing it out
The world is mine but for a time
Please hear the love I bring for you to follow
Come with me, with diamonds in the sea
And stare the hearts of men whose fight in sorrow
It's foolish to suppose you know me well, I know
Everything that I touch won't turn to gold
Money's not my way although your own lost soul's
Waiting for the day to break that hole
And I love you
I've never loved someone like I do
I love you
The world is yours if you want me to
I love you
I've never loved someone like I do
Whisper please some scandal to the trees
I'm sure they would enjoy themselves enormously
Will you and I sit up in the sky
And chase our minds through space and time relentlessly?
Circumstances indicate for you and I
If the time is right, we bid a fond farewell
Some friends of mine, the world they take on for a while
Then seldom find the time they know so well
And I love you
I've never loved someone like I do
I love you
The world is yours if you love me too
I love you
By your look should I have something to say?
Confusion wasn't built in a day.
I took some time to mess up my life and
Its almost perfect let me get this right
We were different added together and
Congratulations I guess you’re always right
Well I’m sorry that I ever tried
What happened to the world we knew?
We were so much better than
this….
Memories destroyed by disease
And then buried in a layer full of words
You never meant to say
The reaction was greater than the screen
We were different added together and
Congratulations I guess you’re always right
Well I’m sorry that I ever tried
What happened to the world we knew?
We were so much better than this
I didn’t feel like this the whole time
But it didn’t help when you made your predictions, yeah
We crossed this bridge, crossed it sometime ago
But I didn’t know, I didn’t know you would move on
Congratulations I guess you’re always right
Well I’m sorry that I ever tried
What happened to the world we knew?
We were so much better than this
So much better than
Congratulations I guess you’re always right (you’re always right...)
Well I’m sorry that I ever tried
What happened to the world we knew?
We were so much better than this
So much better than this (this...)
As the first leaf fell I felt nothing
and as my pieces were stripped away I felt free.
Nothing the world offered me held importance
and nothing You gave me was unrespected.
No, I don't want it, I don't need it.
Help me God.
Father lift me up.
Strength carry me.
Grass is green, the trees are tall
Watch me walk and watch me fall
Flower pot sits in the window, staring at, staring at
The world
In my eyes
The world
Perfect blue skies
Memories are jaded, with fingerpaint
Just keeps on faing, won't hesitate
Wanna bring, wanna bring, wanna watch me see
The world
In my eyes
The world
Perfect blue skies
Grow up kid your destiny calls you
Nothing left to prove
All my life been proud of direction,
But proud for who
Can't be real and so I close my eyes
(the world__in my eyes)
Look ahead, all is perfect blue skies
(the world__ perfect blue skies)
Can you see my world?
In my eyes
You are here alone again
In your sweet insanity
All too calm, you hide yourself from reality
Do you call it solitude? Do you call it liberty?
When all the world turns away to leave you lonely
The fields are filled with desires
All voices crying for freedom
But all in vain they will fade away
There's only you to answer you, forever
In blinded mind you are singing
A glorious hallelujah
The distant flutter of angels
They're all too far, too far to reach for you
I am here alone again
In my sweet serenity
Hoping you will ever find me in any place
I will call it solitude when all my songs fade in vain
Hey yo og, fuck they know about that case the counted shit
Jon Connor, that's to the motherfucking world
Block city stand the fuck up
Oh and it won't predict this cold
And the flow give them motion sickness
Shine and the glow is vicious
Drown when I put it down
Nigga float with the fishes
Just fuck the world like I fuck my girl
And my mistress,
Don't wanna miss this
Killing emcees, one by one
It's all that's on my wishlist
So this shit's gonna be better than Christmas
So, put fear in the Christians
Plus means no chance for the victims
This year it appears that I'm history clear
I'm neglecting the system
Systematically taking the part they anatomy
You starting battery, I turn murder to art
This a masterpiece
Now I'm gladly building a gallery
I'm from the north side,...
Niggas that's mad at me, I'm like fuck him and his family
Tryina stop me, you gonn need a strategy
And the whole police academy
Fuck it, you gonna need a party
To blackhit the party, and table to... the artist
But still you can't fuck with me hardly
And this is a warning for niggas but shit I can call it
The reason I live, the reason I thrive
Obsession with being the greatest alive
Don't compromise for nothing, I be spitting that heat
I'm a beast they could see watching me rise
For years I've been watching them ball
Now I'm watching them fall
Yes I was watching them all
There is no future
There is no past
There is only right now
The song of the soul
Can shape all our goals
Let's listen and save everyone
We're in this together
Each of us as one
So let's come together
And watch our will be done
CHORUS
'Cause there's too much fighting
Too much lying for me (in and around the world)
Does it have to be? (in and around the world)
We all end up losing
It's so confusing to me (in and around the world)
Do we choose to see (in and around the world)
That maybe one day we can all change it
And then make that day finally come
There is no right
There is no wrong
There is only compromise
We can create, not separate
A world that'll work for us all
Isolation kills us, since we're all one
We're life, love and freedom
That's god, in everyone
REPEAT CHORUS
Our best hope is a spiritual solution
Release all fear and let love revive evolution
La la la la la la la la la la la la ha aha
Mama always told me to sing a song if I ever did feel afraid.
But somewhere down along that twisted line the song has changed been made depraved.
Now I'm not saying that you'd know this
I truly did not think you could!
Only hoping you might have noticed
It's so cut throat the lives we lead
I'm gonna see the whole wide world!
I wanted to give you the whole wide world!
Not that it matters, but I wanted you to know
I'm gonna be on the radio
La la la la la la la la la la la la ha aha hahaha!
Papa always told me to laugh out loud if I ever did feel afraid.
But somewhere down along that twisted line the laughter's changed it's not me
This is not my life!
Now I'm not saying that you'd know this
I truly did not think you could!
Only hoping you might have noticed
What am I saying, of course you did
I'm gonna see the whole wide world!
I wanted to give you the whole wide world!
Not that it matters, but I wanted you to know
I'm gonna be on the radio
(La la la la la la la la la la la la)
I can drive the car!
You can hold my hand!
Try to figure it out!
Try to understand!
Whats been done to us!
I'm gonna see the whole wide world!
I wanted to give you the whole wide world!
Not that you care, but I wanted you to know
Ok thanks to some help I got from ChronicSarcasm I've put together a good guess of all the lyrics here they are
We need a revolution!
We need a revolution!
As far as my naked eye can see
There's not a place that is heavenly
You're freedom is in your heart
You're freedom is in your heart
Don't let it go
Theres an energy steadily telling me that ahead of me I will be defeating all of my enemies without any weaponry so theres no point in defending me Im intelligently on another level you see cause Ive been chosen to start a motion and I am focused no longer hopeless no longer broken I am now a man with a power full plan I wrote down with a pen so I can shout it again and again
The fires burnn and I'm concerned
I'm making sure you hear my every word
Im not pretentious
Ive been selected
To try to give this world a heart
And Fix what you have torn apart I need to be respected While I cure the infected
As far as my naked eye can see
There's not a place that is heavenly
You're freedom is in your heart
You're freedom is in your heart
Don't let it go
Im gonna reach out and speak out to the weak crowd that needs help from me now so you see how while meanwhile the worlds in distress Im holding this mess it hurts to confess that I aint never had a taste of bliss so ima raise my fist take a risk and make a wish I will never bend break or twist and Im on a mission to escape this great abyss
This is for the ones who wear blood on their faces and for the ones who were born in broken places
Why do they scream
Why do they scream
Why do they scream?
Because this planet holds to much suffering
As far as my naked eye can see
There's not a place that is heavenly
You're freedom is in your heart
You're freedom is in your heart
Don't let it go
(Your freedom is in your heart your freedom is in your, your freedom freedom your freedom freedom)
Dont let it go!
I'm the king
And I need my chair
Until I get it yall need to be scared
This is just something that I need to declare The world needs me like people need air
Just look at me screaming at the top of my lungs its not even fun and even if you show me your guns you couldnt stop me a once it cant be possibly done I cant be killed Im a prodigal son
(There is a world out there and even if you decide you dont want to need it its still going to hit you right in your face)
Come on!
Got up outta bed todayI was feelin' on topyeah
Looking forward to a brighter day with the good things I got
There was never any time for me to rest or to playno
But I wanna get on up and change the world today
Chorus
I feel on top (yeah) on top of the world
Don't wanna stop (yeah) on top of the world (baby)
Just wanna rock (yeah) on top of the world
Cause the way that I'm feelin' is the way that I feel tonight
I don't think that I felt this good in such a long time (oh baby)
These good feelings runnin' through my veinsit must be a sign (oh no)
Gotta live everyday to the fullon me just rely
Have a good look around youtake a deep breath and sigh
Chorus
And the way that I feel makes everything seem all right
Got up outta bed todayI was feelin' on topyeah
Lookin' forward to a brighter day with the good things I got
There was never any time for me to rest or to play
Gonna get on up and change the world today
Chorus x3
And the way that I feel makes everything seem all right
The world is getting smaller.
each day I'm getting taller.
The globe is spining faster around,
as I am getting older all in time.
The meek are getting stronger,
the tall are getting shorter.
The building are all burning down,
before the call the city skys is black.
Hold on to, give it away.
Hold on to, give it away.
The world is getting smaller,
each day Im getting taller.
The globe is spinning faster round,
as armagedon closer all the time.
The clock is ticking faster,
as time becomes the master.
Time for us to all think fast,
if this world is ever going to last.
Hold on to, give it away. (*4)
Need some bread, to get fed.
I need some money, to get my honey,
anything her little heart desires.
I need some loot, my new suit.
I need some cash, to get some ... has

The World
As we know it today (x6)
You are here alone again
in your sweet insanity
all too calm, you hide yourself from reality
do you call it solitude? do you call it liberty?
when all the world turns away to leave you lonely
The fields are filled with desires
all voices crying for freedom
but all in vain they will fade away
there's only you to answer you, forever
In blinded mind you are singing
a glorious hallelujah
the distant flutter of angels
they're all too far, too far to reach for you
I am here alone again
in my sweet serenity
hoping you will never find me in any place
I will call it solitude
when all my songs fade in vain
(Fozzey raps)
yeah,
come on kid lighten up its bad weather but I promise
you in time that time will get better
keep your head up even if your day's cursed son cause a
kid overseas just had a worse one,
don't get depressed when your net disconnects when
your'e the type of guy in the bank flipping cheques,
I got respect for the troops that are overseas but yet
again they're just people that we oversee,
I hope you're sitting there listening and taking notes,
thinking about what you have instead of what you don't
if your'e down in the slumps you should know that,
after every single harvest seeds grow back
so if you've got a fam and some food on your plate, let
me *something* your mind, yeah your'e doing fucking
great.
I remind myself every time I rap my rhymes, I gotta
thank god for giving me this life of mine.

government say they helping what a bunch of lies
i gotta voice and im out here trynna make my mark while
others just *something* and *something* in the dark,
so lighten up when you think that your day's bad when
your life's pristine to what they've had
i know its easy and we take a lot of stuff for granted
and while were young its hard for anyone to understand
but recently iv'e come to the conclusion that no one
out here is perfect were just human, it was never my
goal to endeavour money I just wanna keep these skies
forever sunny
