Lyrics
Oh 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.
You're deep in the trap
She created the sun, the moon and the sound of the whip crack
Rebirth on Saturday, no turning back
You're a slave to this experience that I lack
We used to shake and we'd do damage
Now we shake hands cause it's good manners
I scroll left to see us going clean bananas
Now it's just tea cups and pyjamas
Oh cruel world
Lose it all to the girl
Do it all for the girl and the boys look on
And although you can't see
That all your used to be's since fifteen are over here still rolling with me
It's funny how it goes but
I guess I'll never know till it happens to me
We used to shake and we'd do damage
Now we shake hands cause it's good manners
I scroll left to see us going clean bananas
Now it's just tea cups and pyjamas
Oh cruel world
Lose it all to the girl
Do it all for the girl and the boys look on
Oh cruel world
Lose it all to the girl
Do it all for the girl and the boys look on
Oh cruel world
Lose it all to the girl
Do it all for the girl and the boys look on
Oh cruel world
Lose it all to the girl
Do it all for the girl and the boys look on
Oh cruel world
Lose it all to the girl
Do it all for the girl and the boys look on
Oh cruel world
Lose it all to the girl
Do it all for the girl and the boys look on
