Tom: A
B
Especially France
D E
I want to see them Frenchies sing and dance
A B
They got rhythms unlike any other culture
D E
And fuck boy, I really like their sodas
N.C A
I wanna see Japan
B
To try all the dishes
D E
'Cause I love eating fishes
A
I’ve been to Germany
B
But I ate Indian food
D E
I shoulda had a sausage or two
[Chorus]
N.C A B D
I want to see the world, the world
E
In all of its glory
A B
The museums, the mountains, the people, the towns
D E
I wanna hear every story
[Verse 2]
A
I want to go to Normandy
B D E
To respect the troops, they died for me and you
A
I want to go to Belgium
B D
That’s where the Allies fought the Axis
E
And wonder how that happened
N.C A
I’m off to Manhattan
B
I want to go to Ground Zero
D E
And salute the fallen heroes
A
I want to go to Memphis
B
That’s where MLK got killed
D E
It doesn’t make sense to me still
[Chorus]
N.C A B
But I want to see the world, the world
D E
But I want the whole story
A B
And if it makes me cringe, and gasp, and gag
D E
Then I guess that that’s good for me
[Verse 3]
A
I want to go to Samoa
B
And ask them for real
D E
Do you want us occupying you still?
A
I want to go to Honduras
B
Because it just isn’t right
D E
We meddled in their elections several different times
A B
Guatemala to say sorry for the harm
D E
I’m sorry we exploited your farms
A
I’d like to see Africa
B
An unbelievable theft
D E
Occurred and we should never forget
[Chorus]
N.C A B
Oh you want to see the world? The world?
D E
But it is fucking awful
A
And if you stare too hard
B D E
Then you just might find the bottom of a bottle
[Verse 4]
A
I want to see Auschwitz
B D E
To try and comprehend how God let that happen to them
A
I want to see Rwanda
B D E
To pay my respects to the million people forced to death
N.C A B
I’m off to Vietnam to see all the harm that we caused
D E
To try and make sense of myself involved
A B
To Cuba, to end the blockade
D E
Fucking human lives are at stake
[Chorus]
N.C A B
I wanna see the world, the world
D E A B
Before I die before my heart stops beating
D E
Or I rip out my eyes
A B
I want to see the world, the world
D E
Or maybe I don’t
A B
Maybe I’m extremely ignorant
D E
And maybe I just won’t
