Lyrics:

Dm-g7-c-g-d

D-g7-c-g-d



I dont know what the world mayneed,

But Im sure as hell that is starts with me.

And thats a wisdom,

Ive laughed at.



I dont know what the world may want,

But a good stiff drink it surely dont.

So I think Ill go and fix myself a tall one.



Cause, what the world needs now

Is a new kind of tension.

Cause the old one just bores me to death.

Cause, what the world needs now

Is another folk singer

Like I need a hole in my head.



I dont know what the world may need,

But a v8 engine is a good start for me.

Think Ill drive to find a place,

To be surly.

I dont know what the world may want,

But some words of wisdom could comfort us.

Think Ill leave that up to someone wiser.



Cause, what the world needs now

Are some true words of wisdom

Like la la la la la

Cause, what the world needs now

Is another folk singer

Like I need a hole in my head.



I dont know what the world may need,

And I never grasped your complexities.

Id be happy just to get your attention.

And, I dont know what the world may want,

But your long, sweet body lying next

To mine could certainly raise my spirits.



Cause what the world needs now

Is a new frank sinatra

So I can get you in bed.

Cause what the world needs now

Is another folk singer

Like I need a hole in my head.
