Hello cruel world so this is you
A broken heart a withered view
I'm looking out to face another day
The angry mob, the happy mass
This birthday cake may be the last
I'm looking out to find another way
Norman Rockwell colours fade
All my favorite things have changed
What the hell,
Hello cruel world
I thought I heard an opera star
Who had no home under the stars
She sang and sang and sang the night away
And Mother Nature changed her name
She doesn't want to play the game
I don't believe she'll ever be the same
So Big Brother never came
Howdy-Doody gets the blame
But what the hell
Hello cruel world
Bad and beautiful and strange
Monkeys dancing in a cage
But what the hell
Hello cruel world
Venus de Milo grew an arm
And Old MacDonald bought the farm
Say goodbye
Hello cruel world
do do do-do do do do do do do do-do do do do do
do do do-do do do do do do do do-do do do do do
do do do-do do do do do
Norman Rockwell colours fade
All my favorite things have changed
But what the hell, hello cruel world
Bad and beautiful and strange
Monkeys dancing in a cage
But what the hell
Hello cruel world
(Say goodbye, hello cruel world)
But what the hell
Hello cruel world (do do do-do do do do-do)
(Hello hello, Ooooh ooooh do do do-do dooooo)
Hello cruel world
