Eddy Clearwater - Messed Up World lyrics

This is a crazy, mixed-up world People, it seems like one great big curse This is a crazy mixed up world today People, it seems like one great big curse Things gotta get better real soon 'Cause they can't hardly get much worse This is a cruel, cruel, cruel world You have to live in each and every day This is a cruel, cruel, cruel world You have to live in each and every day You can't hardly trust your next door neighbor Or they just might steal your life away You know I'm tryin' my best Just to send my kids to school But gangs and guns are takin' over That's why everybody's got the blues What a cruel, cruel, cruel world People, it seems like one great big curse Things gotta get better real soon 'Cause they can't hardly get much worse
