Cruel cruel world
[Chorus]
It’s a cruel, cruel, cruel, cruel world
But it’s never too late to pray
That’s why she say ah-oh-oh-oh
[Verse 1]
Workin’ hard, just trying to feed the babies
Workin’ 9-9, but she never sees the money
It’s fine she’ll sleep when she’s dying
Never loses faith cuz faith’s her middle name
He’ll do anything just to be famous
American dream, been there I can’t blame him
Waiting tables no one cares what his name is
Never loses faith he just pulls another drink
He falls to his knees in the middle of the street
He screams “God please, why are you doing this to me?”
She passes by and looks in his eyes
Says “Don’t you cry”
[Chorus]
It’s a cruel, cruel, cruel, cruel world
But it’s never too late to pray
That’s why she say ah-oh-oh-oh
It’s a cruel, cruel, cruel, cruel world
But it’s never too late to pray
That’s why she say ah-oh-oh-oh
[Verse 2]
Her daddy died when she was just a youngin
Didn’t understand thought that God didn’t love him
Hated when they said the good all die young
Cried every night cuz she missed him too much
She fell to her knees in the middle of the street
She screams “God please, why are you doing this to me?”
Her mom was retarded and looks in her eyes
And says “Don’t you cry”
[Chorus]
It’s a cruel, cruel, cruel, cruel world
But it’s never too late to pray
That’s why she say ah-oh-oh-oh
It’s a cruel, cruel, cruel, cruel world
But it’s never too late to pray
That’s why she say ah-oh-oh-oh
