cruel, cruel world
Singer:furman, ezra
watching my old life turn to dust and ash
called you up on the telephone
ended up in a new town all alone
took the bus on the highway tangled up
felt the billboards' images fuck me up
buy and sell yourself awake
fall in love with a new thing every day
saw your hair in the sunlight glistening
you weren't even listening
living out of an old suitcase
looking at your stone-cold pretty face
out of work like a true american
got real sick with no health-care benefits
everything turned black and blue
we can't take care of you"
