Crueler |
It’s so mean |
It’s crueler than your dreams |
And it’s worse than it seems |
Add it up |
Stick it in your cup |
You’re sure to get enough |
It runneth over now |
You can’t complain no more |
Your bones are cracking now |
You’d better knuckle down |
Life’s so cheap |
It’s cheaper than it looks |
You can’t learn that from books |
Stay in the house |
Stay clear of what you fear |
And you’re old beyond your years |
It runneth over now |
You can’t complain no more |
Your bones are cracking now |
You’d better knuckle down |
You’re leaving your long shadows |
Leaning into space |
And your hardscrabble life |
Is written all over your face |
Counterfeit |
The bankroll that was his |
Fist of change that was yours |
A life so cheap |
It was cheaper than it looked |
You can learn that from books |
It runneth over now |
You can’t complain no more |
Your bones are cracking now |
You’d better knuckle down |
They’ll leave you with a prayer book |
And a pocket full of grace |
And your hardscrabbled life |
Is written all over your face |
Life’s so cheap Life’s so cheap It’s so mean |
It’s crueler than your dreams |
And it’s worse than it seems |
It’s so mean |
It’s so mean |
Whisper in my ear |
Whisper in my ear |
Whisper in the night |
Whisper all the time |
Life’s so cheap |
