Cruel Cruel World Lyrics - The Year Of No Returning - Ezra Furman

Lost my job, lost my money in a flash 

Watching my old life turn to dust and ash 

Called you up on the telephone 

Ended up in a new town all alone 

Took the bus on the highway tangled up 

Felt the billboards' images fuck me up 

Buy and sell yourself awake 

Fall in love with a new thing every day 

It's cold, cold, cruel, cruel world.

From MetroLyrics to You: Our Classic Christmas Playlist 

Saw your hair in the sunlight glistening 

Told your stories, you weren't even listening 

Living out of an old suitcase 

Looking at your stone-cold pretty face 

Photos 

Out of work like a true American 

Got real sick with no health-care benefits 

Everything turned black and blue 

Government says, "We can't take care of you" 

Goodbye, goodbye, cruel, cruel world
