Story behind the song
It started with a rhythm and developed into what you hear here. I wrote it in 2005 in Berkeley.
Lyrics
THE WORLD BLEW UP
Music and lyrics by Paul Iorio
Copyright 2005
I'm glad I saw the world before the world blew up
The world blew up
The world blew up
I'm glad I saw the world before the world blew up
I've been all over this world
I'm glad I saw my lover 'fore she walked away
She walked away
One sad sad day
Yeah, I'm glad I saw my lover 'fore she walked away
She walked away from my world
I'm glad I saw the towers 'fore they tumbled down
They tumbled down
Right to the ground
I'm glad I saw the towers 'fore they tumbled down
They tumbled all over my world
I'm glad I saw the world before the world blew up
The world blew up
The world blew up
I'm glad I saw the world before the world blew up
I've been all over this world
(The world blew up)
I've been all over this world
(The world blew up, yeah, the world blew up)
