Hello Cruel World

Hello cruel world

So this is you?

A broken heart

But with a view

I'm looking out to face

Another day



The angry mob

The happy mass

This birthday cake

May be the last

I'm looking out to find

Another way



[Chorus]

Norman Rockwell colors fade

All my favorite things have changed

But what the hell

Hello cruel world



I though I heard

An opera star

Who had no home

Under the stars

She sang and sang

And sang the night away



And mother nature changed her name

She doesn't want to play the game

I don't believe she'll ever

Be the same



So big brother never came

Howdy Doody gets the blame

But what the hell

Hello cruel world



Bad and beautiful and strange

Monkeys dancing in a cage

But what the hell

Hello cruel world



Venus De Milo grew an arm

And Old MacDonald bought the farm

Say goodbye

Hello cruel world



[Chorus]

Norman Rockwell colors fade

All my favorite things have changed

But what the hell

Hello cruel world



Bad and beautiful and strange

Monkeys dancing in a cage

But what the hell

Hello cruel world



Say goodbye

Hello cruel world

But what the hell

Hello cruel world



Hello, Hello



Hello cruel world
