Oh What a World

Men reading fashion magazines
Oh what a world
It seems we live in
Straight men...
Oh what a world
We live in

Why am I always on a plane or a fast train
Oh what a world my parents gave me
Always travelin'

Wouldn't it be a lovely headline
“Life is Beautiful”
On a New York Times

- From the song entitled
Oh What a World (“Want One”, 2003)
by Rufus Wainwright
