Hello Cruel World
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I can't stop the way I feel
But I can penetrate your religion with a nail
You are mine and we are twine
When we radiate in waves together everything is fine
Hello, cruel world, do you know that you're killing me?
I don't mind, but I could use a little sympathy
I've been blind as a fool can be
My dear cruel world, do you ever think about me?
I can feel so alone with you right here
And yet I turn to you for comfort in my despair
You are dust and I am bone
And I will love your endless gaze of madness until I turn to stone
Hello, cruel world, do you know that you're killing me?
I don't mind, but I could use a little sympathy
I've been blind as a fool can be
My dear cruel world, now I know you are my everything
Please forgive me
Hello, cruel world, do you know that you're killing me?
I don't mind, but I could use a little sympathy
I've been blind as only a man can be
My dear cruel world, now I've made a mess of everything
