Blistered, cracked and bleeding   Cold, no one should know   Rain falls down a freezing   And sticking like a snow      Lingering suspicions   Screaming in my head   Lies, all mixed up with omissions   Welcome home again   It's too late for apologies they're falling at my feet      "This is just the way of the world", Joe said   I had to put a bullet into his head   Then he lit up a cigarette   Decided to call his fat friend Fred      Well he said, "Fred I just killed a man   I caught him laying with my girlfriend   And now they're both dead   People can be so cold when they're dead"      Calling all the neighbors   Time to make amends   Whiskey floods the table   Good friends 'til the end   And they're making silly faces and it's tasting bitter sweet      "This is just the way of the world", Joe said   I had to put a bullet into his head   Then he lit up a cigarette   Decided to call his fat friend Fred      Well he said, "Fred I just killed a man   I caught him laying with my girlfriend   And now they're both dead   People can be so cold when they're dead"      It's too late for apologies they're falling at my feet      "This is just the way of the world", Joe said   I had to put a bullet into his head   Then he lit up a cigarette   Decided to call his fat friend Fred      Well he said, "Fred I just killed a man   I caught him laying with my girlfriend   And now they're both dead   People can be so cold when they're dead"      "This is just the way of the world", Joe said   I had to put a bullet into his head   Then he lit up a cigarette   Decided to call his fat friend Fred      Well he said, "Fred I just killed a man   I caught him laying with my girlfriend   And now they're both dead   People can be so cold when they're dead"
