Crueler Songtext

von Buffalo Tom

It's so meanIt's crueler than your dreamsAnd it's worse than it seemsAdd it upStick it in your cupYou're sure to get enough
It runneth over nowYou can't complain no moreYour bones are cracking nowYou'd better knuckle down
Life's so cheapIt's cheaper than it looksYou can't learn that from booksStay in the houseStay clear of what you fearAnd you're old beyond your years
It runneth over nowYou can't complain no moreYour bones are cracking nowYou'd better knuckle down
You're leaving your long shadowsLeaning into spaceAnd your hardscrabble life Is written all over your face
CounterfeitThe bankroll that was hisFist of change that was yoursA life so cheapIt was cheaper than it lookedYou can learn that from books
It runneth over nowYou can't complain no moreYour bones are cracking nowYou'd better knuckle down
They'll leave you with a prayer bookAnd a pocket full of graceAnd your hardscrabbled lifeIs written all over your face
Life's so cheap Life's so cheap It's so meanIt's crueler than your dreamsAnd it's worse than it seemsIt's so meanIt's so meanWhisper in my earWhisper in my earWhisper in the nightWhisper all the timeLife's so cheap
