The Mekons - Hello Cruel World / 1986

From their 1986 album The Edge Of The World

Lyrics,versuri:

Doubt and resentment
Bile in my stomach
feelings of hate
and a pain behind my eyes
looking at a world
thats 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 doesnt 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 doesnt 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
C'mon Cruel World
Show me what you got
