The World Doesn't Understand

Outside the record shop, about seven o'clock
Wonder will we meet again?
With our safety in doubt, will we chicken out?
They don't care for such special friends

Because the world doesn't understand when you hold my hand
Forget the world, here they come

With their blinkers on, they'd have us carry on
Behind closed doors or not at all
Barely tolerance, there's a consequence
See 'em waiting over by the wall

Because the world doesn't understand when you hold my hand
Because the world doesn't understand
No no no no no
The world doesn't understand when you hold my hand
Forget the world
It doesn't understand

I don't think I wanna get my lights punched out
Don't wanna put you in harm's way
But there's nowhere else even worth thinking about
I don't wanna wait another day, I think I wanna disobey

Because the world doesn't understand when you hold my hand
Because the world doesn't understand
No no no no no
The world doesn't understand when you hold my hand
Forget the world
It doesn't understand
It doesn’t understand
