Nursery Rhyme

Woke up this morning with a beat in my heart

Considering the opposite, you could say that's a start

Like a seed that ain't sprouted, like a tree that's gone burled

Darling, it's a cruel, cruel world

I don't wish for pain

And I don't dream of war

When will it all end?

What are we killing for?

The man takes and he takes

And he only wants more

It's evil, plain evil to the core

How can you climb when you ain't got a dime?

Working your life away till you die

Can't pay what you owe 'em, not in this lifetime

Darling, it's a nursery rhyme

I don't wish for pain

And I don't dream of war

I am calling for peace

What are we killing for?

They broke hell wide open

Let the dark fire unfurl

Darling, it's a cruel, cruel world

Like a twisted tilt-a-whirl

Like a sour ice cream swirl

Darling, it's a cruel—

Cruel world
