They tell me that the sun comes up every morning   They tell me that there's people out on the streets   But why is life so cruel   They tell me man he tops the list in creation   He takes his place as uncrowned king of the world   But why is man so cruel   He's doin' time   Ain't it a crime.      Oh prince of peace   We need you now   Give us a sign   To show us how.      Locked in her room the lover mourns her betrayer   Seems even love possesses treachery too   But how can love be cruel   Ain't it a shame   He took the blame:      Seems this old world   Has lost it's way   On such a torn   And troubled day   Locked in her room the lover mourns her betrayer   Surely not love possesses treachery too   But how can love be cruel   He's doin' time   Ain't it a crime.
