Buffalo Tom - Crueler lyrics
rate meIt's so mean
It's crueler than your dreams
And it's worse than it seems
Add it up
Stick it in your cup
You're sure to get enough
It runneth over now
You can't complain no more
Your bones are cracking now
You'd better knuckle down
Life's so cheap
It's cheaper than it looks
You can't learn that from books
Stay in the house
Stay clear of what you fear
And you're old beyond your years
It runneth over now
You can't complain no more
Your bones are cracking now
You'd better knuckle down
You're leaving your long shadows
Leaning into space
And your hardscrabble life
Is written all over your face
Counterfeit
The bankroll that was his
Fist of change that was yours
A life so cheap
It was cheaper than it looked
You can learn that from books
It runneth over now
You can't complain no more
Your bones are cracking now
You'd better knuckle down
They'll leave you with a prayer book
And a pocket full of grace
And your hardscrabbled life
Is written all over your face
Life's so cheap Life's so cheap It's so mean
It's crueler than your dreams
And it's worse than it seems
It's so mean
It's so mean
Whisper in my ear
Whisper in my ear
Whisper in the night
Whisper all the time
Life's so cheap
