I wish I had a metal heart   I could cross the line   I wish I was half as good   As you think I am      Now that we know for sure   They're telling lies when they say   ?No one gets hurt?   And therefore nobody dies      You know it's hard to believe   Anything that you hear   They say, ?The world is round?      Wish I was as big as you   You'd have to tell the truth   I'd be nothing you could hurt   Nothing you could use      Now that we know for sure   They're telling lies when they say   ?No one gets hurt?   And therefore nobody dies      You know it's hard to believe   Anything that you hear   They say, ?The world is round?   ?The world is round?      I want to be dependable   I want to be courageous and good   I want to be faithful so that   I can be heroic and true      I want to be a friend you can rely on   You can lean on and trust   I want to understand   So I can forgive and be willing to love      I wish I wasn't flesh and blood   I would not be scared   Bullets built with me in mind   Then I could be saved      My sweet Lord, take care of me   For I think I'm done   Kiss my mother on her cheek   Lay my burden down, lay my burden down      Now that we know for sure   They're telling lies when they say   ?No one gets hurt?   And therefore nobody dies      You know it's hard to believe   Anything that you hear   They say, ?The world is round?   ?The world is round?      ?The world is round?   ?The world is round?
