[Verse 1] He prophesied that God would come He's been and gone, left you alone His tongues and eyes, oh why, why would I? So you wouldn't try to have her believe it [Chorus] It's obvious, so come to your senses Take a ride to the times you live in You're no fool, just a cruel, cruel animal Are you so cruel? You're such a cruel, cruel animal [Verse 2] In came the flood, in came the flood
And everything (and everything) is as it was (is as it was) The vacant earth, cold dawn out of bed The darkened sky, the same sky you're dressed in [Chorus] It's obvious, so come to your senses Take a ride to the times you live in You're no fool, just a cruel, cruel animal Are you so cruel? You're such a cruel, cruel animal
