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:

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...

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. Submitter's comments:  There is a good deal of dialogue scattered throughout this song. I've omitted it for simplicity's sake, but it can be heard in the video.
