Hello Cruel World

Hello cruel world
Are you real or just a dream?
And will I ever find some meaning like them pretty folks on TV?

So long, my love
I've got to do this on my own
Submit myself to the unknown
I'm just a freak without a home, screaming:

"Hello cruel world!"
I really want to live a long time, but if I don't
I want to thank you for giving me some life
I think we can make it if we try

Hello cruel world
I must admit it's nice to be here
But your point is rather unclear
So please help me face what I fear

Goodbye my friend
But I'll be just around the bend
Yes, I'm quite sure we'll meet again
I'll be a freak until the end, screaming:

"Hello cruel world!"
I really want to live a long time, but if I don't
I want to thank you for giving me some life
I think we can make it if we try
We can make it if we try, yes

Knock, knock
I'm banging on the door
World, let me in

Knock, knock
I'm a-banging on the door
World, let me in

Knock, knock
I'm banging on the door
World, let me in, screaming:

"Hello cruel world!"
I really want to live a long time
But if I don't
I want to thank you for giving me some life
I think we can make it if we try
We can make it if we try
We can make it if we try
