hello cruel world   so this is you   a broken heart   but with a view   i'm looking out to face another day         the angry mob   the happy mass   this birthday cake may be the last   i'm looking out to find another way         norman rockwell colors fade   all my favorite things have changed   but what the hell   hello cruel world         i thought i heard an opera star   who had no home under the stars   she sang and sang and sang the night away         and mother nature changed her name   she doesn't want to play the game   i don't believe she'll ever be the same         so big brother never came   howdy doody gets the blame   but what the hell   hello cruel world         bad and beautiful and strange   monkeys dancing in a cage   but what the hell   hello cruel world         venus demilo grew an arm   and old macdonald bought the farm   say goodbye   hello cruel world
