Cruel World

Cruel World - Josh Homme

Cruel cruel world must I go on

Cruel cruel world I'm moving on

I've been living too fast

I've been living too wrong

Cruel cruel world I'm gone

This big old world sure got me running 'round

Heard a voice it told me settle down

And with the moonlight as my guide

And with this feeling deep inside

I know now that I am homeward bound

As I wander through the pines the whisperings they tell

Of the many before me who tried and fell

Seeking fortune and ways

To get to glory days

Looking for a place in this old world

Cruel cruel world must I go on

Cruel cruel world I'm moving on

I've been living too fast

I've been living too wrong

Cruel cruel world I'm gone

Desert roads desert plains

I have seen so much pain

Now I see into the eyes of a girl

No more no more cruel world

On a dusty trail I saw vapor light

Was it a mirage don't know but it seemed right

I felt mission I felt trust

I knew then that I must

Go to her away from this cruel world

Cruel cruel world must I go on

Cruel cruel world I'm moving on

I've been living too fast

I've been living too wrong

Cruel cruel world I'm gone

Cruel cruel world I'm gone
