The night is lonely and talk is cheap
The city's creaking while it sleeps
The streets are nervous
They're paved with danger
If looks could kill, so many strangers
Don't you know
It's a cruel, cruel world?
Hey ho, my friend
Don't let go, my friend
Don't you know
It's a cruel, cruel world?
Hey ho, my friend
Don't let go, my friend
Around each corner, someone waits
A faceless person, a night that hates
Distant footsteps, the sound of fear
The crush of silence breaks atmosphere
Don't you know
It's a cruel, cruel world?
Hey ho, my friend
Don't let go, my friend
Don't you know
It's a cruel, cruel world?
Hey ho, my friend
Don't let go, my friend
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Don't you know
It's a cruel, cruel world?
Hey ho, my friend
Don't let go, my friend
Don't you know
It's a cruel, cruel world?
Hey ho, my friend
Don't let go, my friend
Don't you know
It's a cruel, cruel world?
Hey ho, my friend
Don't let go, my friend
Cruel world
Cruel world
Cruel world
Cruel world
