Cruel World

When I was a young boy
My mother turned at me and said
You only get one chance in this life
It's like a game of Russian Roulette
You could be sipping Malibu in the sweet sunshine
Watching al the girls
Watch the girls go by by by
Or is the grass always greener on the other side?
It's a cruel cruel world outside
Life's kind, life can be cruel
So don't let it make a fool out of you
Life's kind, life can be cruel
I won't let it make a fool out of me
When I was a young boy
My father turned to me and said
Don't be stupid, gotta play by the rules
Or you'll wind up in the gutter dead
You could be cashing in your cheers with a smile on your face
Pack yourself a bag and book a holiday holiday
Or is the grass always greener on the other side?
It's a cruel cruel world outside
Life's kind, life can be cruel
So don't let it make a fool out of you
Life's kind, life can be cruel
I won't let it make a fool out of me
Is the future looking bright or did the reapers steal the light?
Is fortune on your side or is luck all out of supplies?
Life's kind, life can be cruel
You gonna let it make a fool out of you
Life's kind, life can be cruel
I won't let it make a fool out of me
