Jon - Cruel World Lyrics

Welcome to your life
Let me tell you how it is
You trade your position
For the dark bitterness
All alone in your thoughts
No one knows when you've been caught
Why don't you rise up against the swirl
Of them turning the cogs of this cruel world

So just bite the bullet
This isn't yours so don't disturb it
Just work away at the machine
It's a cruel world that you've seen

See the master barking like a dog
See the boys working night and day
See the steam rising in the fog
It's a cruel world that makes you stay

Call out to an officer
You think you popped a cap
Seek assistance from somebody
You need to find a way back
Once you feel the steel
Of the irons on your hands
There ain't no getting out
You'll die alone in wastelands

See the master barking like a dog
See the boys working night and day
See the steam rising in the fog
It's a cruel world that makes you stay
See the bullets flying like the birds
See the streets lead into the night
Hear the clash of metal down below
See the vessels running down the wine

You've got a gun for a girlfriend
She's a smoking hot troublemaker
Whining and moaning
You never liked the master and it's time
Sneak into the night
Watch him as he sleeps
One bang for the cheating enemy
From the forehead his blood seeps
