The Way It Ought to Be lyrics

Madame Defarge:

From where I sit I see the way things are,

The way they've always been.

From here the heavens seem a little far,

And this world full of sin.

And with these hands I keep a memory of

The ones who've done such wrong

Until the judgment comes and all of us are free

I knit a picture of the way it ought to be.

Monsieur Defarge:

You've always known the world is black and cold

And human life is cheap;

You've always known most men are out for blood

And God is fast asleep.

And you can stand there doing nothing, hating everyone you see

Or you can fight to make a world where men are free.

It's up to us to choose the way it ought to be...

And you can stand there doing nothing, hating everyone you see

Or you can fight to make a world where men are free.

Monsieur and Madame Defarge:

Until the judgment comes

Monsieur Defarge:

Until this world is free

Madame Defarge:

I knit a picture of the way it ought to be.

Sydney Carton:

If you ask me the world could use a shot

Of whiskey in its glass.

I've earned the right to judge; I've learned a lot

Observing on my ass!

This little bottle keeps mankind at bay and far away from me

And when I'm blind with drink I like the world I see.

I even think the world's the way it ought to be.
