THIS WORLD
Baby, I ain’t afraid to die, It’s just that I hate to say goodbye To this world, this world, this world. This old world is mean and cruel, But still I love it like a fool, This world, this world, this world.
I’d rather go to the corner store Than sing hosannah on that golden shore, I’d rather live on Parker Street Than fly around where the angels meet. Oh, this old world is all I know, It’s dust to dust when I have to go From this world, this world, this world.
Somebody else will take my place, Some other hands, some other face, Some other eyes will look around And find the things I’ve never found Don’t weep for me when I am gone, Just keep this old world rolling on, This world, this world, this world.
Berklee’s poetry Walk was laid in October 2003 along Edison Street between Shattuck and Milvia Streets. The route includes 128 metal plates with excerpts from songs, each of which is related in one way or another to the city of Berkeley.
The current sign features the poem written by the American poet and political activist Malvina Reynolds (1900-1978). Reynolds who was best known for the song "Little Boxes" studied at the University of Berkeley, from her bachelor’s degree to her doctorate.
