[Verse 1]
It's said history repeats itself, well, that is nothing new
But somewhere in the scheme of things, there lurks an awful truth

[Refrain]
All the disappointment of the world
All the disappointment of the world

[Verse 2]
Life is a strict teacher, whose lessons must be learned
And optimists turn pessimists after experience

[Refrain]
All the disappointment of the world
All the disappointment of the world

[Bridge 1]
Try to understand, no matter what you plan
You'll never get what you demand

[Guitar Solo]

[Refrain]
All the disappointment of the world
All the disappointment of the world
[Bridge 2]
Try to understand, no matter what you plan
You'll never get what you demand
Betwixt and between, nightmare and dream
It's really as bad as it seems

[Refrain]
All the disappointment of the world
All the disappointment of the world
All the disappointment of the world
All the disappointment of the world
