Why in the world are you so cruel?
Who got an answer here? Tell me what I want to know
But iron horse come, buffalo gone
Cat got your tongue now night to night and day to day
Nobody knows the trouble I see, nobody cares, nobody but me
Why in the world are you so cruel?
Like blades of grass they cut us all down
Spends all her time, thinking what she want to be
She just a lonely heart, it's tearing me apart
Like blades of grass they cut us all down
Cru-cru-cruel, cruel, cru-cru-cruel, cruel
He just a lonely heart, it's tearing me apart
Why in the world are you so cruel?
He got no girlfriend, he got no money
Who got an answer here? Tell me what I want to know
Why in the world are you so cruel?
And James Bond, Jackie O, Johnnie Ray and Garbo
Where is that sunshine? Where is that rainbow?
To run as far as the eye can see
But long knife come, buffalo gone
She got no boyfriend, she got no window
Why in the world are you so cruel?
Here is a girl who's working in a factory
Everywhere I go there's a world full of heartbreak
Why in the world are you so cruel?
There's a boy now doesn't have a word to say
Why in the world are you so cruel?
Yes, I know what it is to be free
Hole in the sky now tell me where for God's sake
