Used to Rule the World - Bonnie Raitt

Doctor Feelgood

Sleepin' on a concrete bench

Can I get a witness?

Miss South Carolina 1975,

Somebody stole your crown.

You were sleeping

In your happy home,

When you woke up baby,

Your life had come and gone.

Now you’re mystified,

Standing with the rest of us

Who used to rule the world.

Brother Lovejoy

Rappin' up a blue streak

Can I get a witness?

Miss Hurricane can’t

Keep your hands still

Long enough to count your change.

You were wrapped up

In your daily grind,

The cost of living

It didn’t even cross your mind.

Now you’re mystified,

Standing with the rest of us

Who used to rule the world.

Mr. Blueprint

Used to have it figured out

Now you can’t find your car.

Miss Cocktaill dress

Standing at the bathroom sink

Looking for a back way out.

You can’t believe your very eyes.

Everything that you were counting on

Was nothing but a pack of lies.

Now you’re mystified,

Standing with the rest of us

Who used to rule the world.

Now you’re mystified,

Standing with the rest of us

Who used to rule, used to rule, used to rule the world.
