Josh Homme - Cruel World Lyrics

Josh Homme Lyrics

"Cruel World"
(from "Red Dead Redemption II" soundtrack)

Cruel, cruel world, must I go on?
Cruel, cruel world, I'm movin' on
I've been livin' too fast
I've been livin' too wrong
Cruel, cruel world, I'm gone

This big old world sure got me runnin' 'round
Heard a voice, it told me, "Settle down"
With the moonlight as my guide
And this feelin' deep inside
I know now that I'm homeward bound
As I wander through the pines, the whisperings, they tell
Of the many before me who tried and fell
Seeking fortune and ways
To get to glory days
Looking for a place in this old world

Cruel, cruel world, must I go on?
Cruel, cruel world, I'm movin' on
I've been livin' too fast
I've been livin' too wrong
Cruel, cruel world, I'm gone

Take it away

Desert road, desert plain
I have seen so much pain
Now I see into the eyes of a girl
No more, no more, cruel world
On a dusty trail, I saw vapor light
Was it a mirage? Don't know, but it seemed right
I felt mission, I felt trust
I knew then that I must
Go to her, away from this cruel world

Cruel, cruel world, must I go on?
Cruel, cruel world, I'm movin' on
I've been livin' too fast
I've been livin' too wrong
Cruel, cruel world, I'm gone

Cruel, cruel world, I'm gone
