CRUEL WORLD
                          ~~~~~~~~~~~

I HAD A DREAM AN ANGEL CAME DOWN
AND THE ANGEL HE CRIED AT MY FEET
AND THE REASON THE ANGEL CRIED
WAS THE STARVING CHILDREN OUT ON THE STREET
AND THEN HE WIPED A TEAR FROM HIS EYES
AND I BENT FORWARD SO I COULD LISTEN
HE SAID NOW GO, GO FEED THE CHILD
THE LORD SAYS LET THIS BE YOUR MISSION

CAUSE ITS A CRUEL CRUEL WORLD, A CRUEL WORLD THAT YOU LIVE IN
ITS A CRUEL CRUEL WORLD, A CRUEL WORLD THAT YOU LIVE IN

THERE WAS A TIME THAT I BELIEVED,
  THAT THE WORLD WOULD ALL LIVE IN PEACE
THERE WAS A TIME THAT I BELIEVED,
  THEY'D BE NO HOMELESS PEOPLE OUT ON THE STREET

LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE, LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE
TO THE WORLD THAT YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN
LOOK AT WHAT YOU'VE DONE, LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE
TO THE WORLD THAT YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN


AND THEN THE ANGEL HE HELD OUT HIS HANDS
AND WHEN I LOOKED IN HE SHOWED ME THIS VISION
THERE WAS A WORLD OF BEAUTY AND LIGHT
AND A PLACE FOR ALL OF OUR CHILDREN
WHEN I AWOKE I KNEW IN MY HEART
I WAS BLIND BUT NOW I COULD SEE
THAT THE REASON THAT I HAD A SIGN
WAS TO TELL THE WORLD WHAT HAPPENED TO ME

CAUSE ITS A CRUEL CRUEL WORLD, A CRUEL WORLD THAT WE LIVE IN
ITS A CRUEL CRUEL WORLD, A CRUEL WORLD THAT WE LIVE IN
CAUSE ITS A CRUEL CRUEL WORLD, A CRUEL WORLD THAT WE LIVE IN
ITS A CRUEL CRUEL WORLD, A CRUEL WORLD THAT WE LIVE IN
