A Cruel World

The world is ending, I see it in my dreams while I sleep

Homeless people fill up the streets, looking for a buck to eat

Only feelings of despair and defeat



There are drug filled streets only a few will meet

Some that kill, some that heal, and others tend to leave

The world is ending, I see it in my dreams while I sleep



The world used to be, sort of technicolor to say the least

Now, there's a price to pay in order to be free

I see, only feelings of despair and defeat
