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 farAs 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?
Here is a girl who’s working in a factory
Spends all her time there
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?
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’s got an answer here?
Tell me what I want to know
Why in the world
Are you so cruel?
