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
