| Can you hear the wind that’s howling
|
| Through the concrete trees
|
| Got you praying on your knees
|
| In the face of danger we’re all brave
|
| 'Til the gun goes bang, bang, bang
|
| It’s a cruel, cruel world
|
| No mercy left, yeah it’s a cruel, cruel world
|
| It’ll break your heart and burn you down, down, down
|
| Don’t ever doubt that it’s a cruel, cruel world
|
| Oh it’s a cruel, cruel world
|
| Smoke will turn your soul to black
|
| If you let it in
|
| So close the door, confess your sins
|
| Oh, when I was younger, it was on roses
|
| Now they’re dead and gone away
|
| It’s a cruel, cruel world
|
| No mercy left, yeah it’s a cruel, cruel world
|
| It’ll break your heart and burn you down, down, down
|
| Don’t ever doubt that it’s a cruel, cruel world
|
| Oh it’s a cruel, cruel world
|
| Oh, can you help me?
|
| Oh, can you help me out?
|
| Don’t know who I can trust right now
|
| Oh, can you help me?
|
| Oh, can you help me out?
|
| Oh
|
| It’s a cruel, cruel world
|
| It’s a cruel, cruel world
|
| No mercy left, yeah it’s a cruel, cruel world
|
| It’ll break your heart and burn you down, down, down
|
| Don’t ever doubt that it’s a cruel, cruel world
|
| Oh it’s a cruel, cruel world
|
| (It'll burn you down) |
