I saw a girl flip a stroller That was holding her baby sitter Her mother screamed and came runnin I couldn't believe what I'd seen
It's a cruel world, a cruel cruel world!
There's a man on my corner He's been layin face down for days I don't walk by that corner When I go to work I walk another way
It's a cruel world, a cruel cruel world!
I don't know just what you've done I probably couldn't believe what you've seen As we get older it gets clearer And I'm sure we could all agree It's a cruel world A cruel cruel world!
