When Worlds Collide Lyrics - Todd Rundgren

When worlds collide, the best of us 

Won't be here with the rest of us 

They'll drop before the paint has dried 

When worlds collide, when worlds collide 

The young today, I must confess 

Have lost the path of righteousness 

By settling for something less 

The smarty pants, they fail to see 

The posture of morality 

Is just like common currency 

That's the way it works for me 

So I dress like a brushing bride 

Because my every move is sanctified 

By claiming God is on my side 

When worlds collide, when worlds collide

When worlds collide, the virtuous 

Will have to take the shuttle bus 

But we in limousines shall ride 

When worlds collide, when worlds collide 

These kids today, they have no pluck 

Don't know the value of a buck 

They think all politicians suck 

But managing economies 

Is one of my best qualities 

Especially to friends like these 

I can favor the ones I please 

And if the mandate should be denied me 

Then there's always something kept aside 

If you have grease then you can slide 

When worlds collide, when worlds collide 

Photos 

When worlds collide, the devious, 

The cunning, and mischevious 

Will mourn the moral men who died 

When worlds collide, when worlds collide 

The youth today, I must relate 

Have not learned to appreciate 

The pleasures of the city-state 

They waste themselves on drugs and sex 

And boogieing in discotheques 

I'll take them by their bleach-blond necks 

And conscript those I don't reject 

Then I'll serve them butchered and fried 

For our commander can sleep satisfied 

While someone's licking one's backside 

When worlds collide, when worlds collide
