|
| This is a crazy mixed up world today
|
| People, it seems like one great big curse
|
| Things gotta get better real soon
|
| 'Cause they can’t hardly get much worse
|
| This is a cruel, cruel, cruel world
|
| You have to live in each and every day
|
| This is a cruel, cruel, cruel world
|
| You have to live in each and every day
|
| You can’t hardly trust your next door neighbor
|
| Or they just might steal your life away
|
| You know I’m tryin' my best
|
| Just to send my kids to school
|
| But gangs and guns are takin' over
|
| That’s why everybody’s got the blues
|
| What a cruel, cruel, cruel world
|
| People, it seems like one great big curse
|
| Things gotta get better real soon
|
| 'Cause they can’t hardly get much worse |
