Cruel - Bryan Ferry

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?

Why in the world are you so cruel?

Here is a girl who’s working in a factory

Spends all her time, 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?

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

Why in the world are you so cruel?

Why in the world are you so cruel?

Cru-cru-cruel, cruel, cru-cru-cruel, cruel

Why in the world are you so cruel?

Cru-cru-cruel, cruel
