"Cry Baby Cry" lyrics

One of these nights you wait and see
One of these nights you're gonna realize
The way of pride comes at a cost
Leaving you short on sympathy
Here is the evidence you need to know
You're better off than the rest

Craving attention more than touch
For all the time it's nothing much to show
Keeping it all together
Seems like forever
One of these days you'll kiss and tell
Face in the mirror, gonna spell it out
Whatever do you know
What do you, do you know?

A selfish obsession, a fake suicide
You can't see the truth for the dollars in your eyes
They're fading and that makes you
Cry baby cry
But it ain't gonna kill you now

Can you depend on your champagne
Socialist friends to drop your name in their
4 by 4 supernova rides?
However great they claim to be
Only betrays their insecurity, yeah
See how they fall from those heights

Afraid of dragons in the smoke
Wanna go rehab but that's a joke
It's getting old don't tell that one no more, we've heard it before
You're welcome to celebrity
Doing the thing so famously
Must wear your reputation raw, it must be such a bore

A selfish obsession, a fake suicide
You can't see the truth for the dollars in your eyes
They're fading and that makes you
Cry baby cry
But it ain't gonna kill you now

Cry baby cry
Cry baby
Cry

A selfish obsession, a fake suicide
You can't see the truth for the dollars in your eyes
They're fading and that makes you
Cry baby cry
But it ain't gonna kill you now
It does make you stronger, yeah

Cry baby cry
Cry baby cry
Cry baby cry
Cry baby cry
