Hello Cruel World - Mekons

Doubt and resentment

Bile in my stomach

Feelings of hate and a pain behind my eyes

Looking at a world that’s shaking slightly

My ears are filling with rubbish

Can’t find it and make it work

Hello cruel world

Hello cruel world

Walking through the barbed wire

Sinking in the mud

I heard you singing

You sounded brave

Stepping over broken bodies

Ignore my trembling hands

Don’t think of this as blood

I know it is

Just pretend it doesn’t hurt

Hello cruel world

Hello cruel world

Hello cruel world

Hello cruel world

Walking through the barbed wire

Sinking in the mud

I heard you singing

You sounded brave

Stepping over broken bodies

Ignore my trembling hands

Don’t think of this as blood

I know it is

Just pretend it doesn’t hurt

Hello cruel world

Hello cruel world

Hello cruel world

Hello cruel world

It’s a cruel world

It’s a cruel world

It’s a cruel world

Come on cruel world

Show me what you’ve got
