Messed Up World - Eddy Clearwater

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
