You don't know who to be nice to You gotta watch what you say and do You keep your hands in your pockets (Close the door! Did you lock it?) Hey all you sharks out there You better be careful where you step Don't say you've come to the right place 'Cause I've been here before [Chorus] And if it gets too hot, don't drop it That's just the way of the world And if you get pushed off, jump on it And get to know the way of the world Welcome to the way of the world You see it everywhere these days Some kind of modern ice age And if they think that you've got it (hold on tight) (Is that my money in your wallet?) And I don't know what you think It's not like it's a new thing But everytime it starts happening I know I've been here before [Repeat Chorus] This is just the way of the world Oh... Do we follow in the footsteps Should we follow in the footsteps Do we follow in the footsteps Oh... [Repeat Chorus] Getting to know the way of the world Whatever the way the wind blows I'm on it I'm getting to know the way of the world
