Welcome to the cruel world hope you find your way welcome to the cruel world hope you find your way it's a cruel world try to enjoy your stay
Yes it is a cruel world when you're tryin' to get by it's a cruel world when you've seen the look in their eye makes life hard living but I'm so scared to die
Welcome to the cruel world welcome welcome
Don't know how we've lasted here so long there must be more good than bad or we'd already be gone and if you get up to Heaven before I do I'm gonna tell ya It's gonna be cruel there too
You can't hide from this cruel world cause there is no place to run you can't hide from the cruel world there just is no place to run it's been cruel from the beginning it will be cruel when we're done
So when I'm gone I will gladly say goodbye when I am gone I will gladly say goodbye and if you want to feel me put your hands up to the sky
Welcome to the cruel world welcome welcome hope you find your way try to enjoy your stay
