Christy Altomare — The World According To Chris lyrics

Lyrics

Guess what, ever since the world began
Same plot, everyone’s been dumping on their fellow man
Pounding people they feel better than
I hope you’re taking notes cause
You feel everyone deserves a shot
Get real
Some of us have got it, girl
And some got squat
That’s the truth, oh honey, like it or not
I hate to break it to you
My daddy taught me you get no where being nice
So now I’m sharing his advice:
The world according to Chris is
Better to strike then get struck
Better to screw then get screwed
You’d probably think its bizarre
But that’s the way things are
But that doesn’t mean it has to be that way
What does it cost to be kind?
Ew, what have you done with my best friend? Billy, tell me, am I right,
or am I right?
Trust me
I swear
There’s a dick in every class
Not fair
Each and every time I fail those losers pass
Hey, everyone of them can kiss my ass
You wonder why I love him
One year, there was this good looking guy
So queer
And on top of that he has a wandering eye
One day he looks at me
And, huh, bye-bye
I bet he got the message
We’re here to tell you how this whole damn freak show works
Oh, yeah yeah yeah
If you don’t listen, then you’re jerks!
The world according to Chris is
Better to punch than get punched
Better to burn than get burned
Learn that and you’re gonna go far
Cause that’s the way things are
Hoo-nya nya nya nya na na na na
Hoo-nya nya nya na na na na
Hoo-nya nya nya nya na na na na
Hoo-nya nya nya na na na na
Do you believe her?
C’mon, she’s just being Chris
You weren’t there. It was awful. We were hurting Carrie
Oh, I’m sure it wasn’t that bad
Tommy, you don’t understand
What was just a joke got out of hand
We kept on screaming til she hit the floor
C’mon, everybody was doing it
Hey, I was in there, too
What came over me was something new
I did things I’d never done before
And now I wish there’s something I could do or say
I’ve never ever felt this way
Look, Sue
Don’t be so hard on yourself
You can tell me to keep my mouth shut
But, wanna know what I’d advise?
What?
Apologize
Apologize. Oh, Tommy! That’s genius!
Ew, Sue
I can tell you’re feeling sad
Boo Hoo!
So, we clobbered Carrie and that’s too damn bad
This is why you’ve gotta love my dad
He’s got the right idea
My daddy taught me who’s on top and who’s below
Who’s below
And now its time I let you know
The world according to Chris…
You’re joking, right? You can’t possibly mean all this?
Why are you being such a buzz-kill?
Chris, grow up
Hoo-nya nya nya na na na na
Hoo-nya nya nya nya na na na na
Let''s start this party, people!
The World According to Chris (x4)
(softly)
The world according to Chris is
Better to whip than get whipped
Even if somebody bleeds
Please
Nobody dies from a scar
And that’s the way things
Are
