"Cruel World" lyrics

"Cruel World"

It's a cruel world now
They don't seem to notice you no more
You cannot figure them out
They will never show who they really are

Now you got the fiends
Got the dreams
Got the biggest eyes
They got the keys
Got the deeds
To your golden prize
Chemical needs
You're getting clean
Back on that horse and ride
Now they're getting mean
You beg and plead
You're paralyzed

And it's over for you
They will eat you alive

They're gonna tear you to pieces, pieces
And oh, it's a cruel world, it's a cruel world
Oh, it's a cruel world, it's a cruel world
Oh, it's a cruel world, it's a cruel world
Oh, it's a cruel, cruel world

She is pristine
A beauty queen
Her silky skin
Calling you over
So you can show her
You're worth getting in
"We are the future"
She says
"We are the golden kids
Be only like us
No one can touch us
Higher than we've ever been"

"And it's over for you
We will eat you alive"

"We're gonna tear you to pieces, pieces"
And oh, it's a cruel world, it's a cruel world
Oh, it's a cruel world, it's a cruel world
Oh, it's a cruel world, it's a cruel world
Oh, it's a cruel, cruel world

Cruel, cruel, cruel
Yeah, cruel, cruel, cruel
Cruel, cruel, cruel

Oh, it's a cruel world, it's a cruel world
Oh, it's a cruel world, cruel world
Oh, it's a cruel world, it's a cruel world
Oh, it's a cruel, cruel world
