lyrics

Sneakers on a power line
Pollution in the air
Shocked by an electric fence
Transgressions everywhere

It's a cruel world we live in
It's a cruel world we live in
Yes it is

Dancing from a balcony
Elitists with their kegs
Draped in Greek alphabet
Delusions in their heads

It's a cruel world we live in
It's a cruel world we live in

Two years, two months, two days was just enough
Everyone will let you down

Lives are broken, apologies unspoken
Everyone will let you down

Inflated personalities
Disease without a cure
Degradation indifference
Obscenities obscured

It's a cruel world we live in
It's a cruel world we live in
It's a cruel world we live in
It's a cruel world we live in
Yes it is
