Cruel Lyrics

My sun is set--and my day is done

When I turn to the east I can see no dawn

But iron horse come--buffalo gone

Like blades of grass they cut us all down

Yes I know what it is to be free

To run as far as the eye can see

But long knife come--buffalo gone

Like blades of grass they cut us all down

Why in the world are you so cruel?

Here is a girl who's working in a factory

Spends all her time there thinking what she want to be

She got no boyfriend--she got no window

She just a lonely heart--it's tearing me apart

There's a boy now doesn't have a word to say

Cat got your tongue now--night to night and day to day

He got no girlfriend--he got no money

He just a lonely heart--it's tearing me apart

Why in the world are you so cruel?

Everywhere I go there's a world full of heartbreak

Hole in the sky now--tell me where for God's sake

Where is that sunshine? Where is that rainbow?

Who got an answer here? Tell me what I want to know

Nobody knows the trouble I see

Nobody cares--nobody but me

And James Bond, Jackie O, Johnnie Ray and Garbo

Who got an answer here? Tell me what I want to know
