This is a crazy mixed up world
People it seems like one great big curse
This is a crazy mixed up world today
People it seems like one great big curse
Things gotta get better real soon
Cause they can`t hardly get much worse
This is a cruel cruel cruel world
You have to live in each and every day
This is a cruel cruel cruel world
You have to live in each and every day
You can`t hardly trust your next door neighbor
Or they just might steal your life away
You know I`m tryin` my best
Just to send my kids to school
But gangs and guns are takin` over
That`s why everybody`s got the blues
What a cruel cruel cruel world
People it seems like one great big curse
Things gotta get better real soon
Cause they can`t hardly get much worse
