Låttexter: Buffalo Tom. Crueler.

It's so mean it's crueler than your dreams
And it's worse than it seems
Added it up stick it in your cup
You're sure to get enough

It runneth over now
You can't complain no more
Your bones are cracking now
You'd better knuckle down

Life's so cheap it's cheaper than it looks
You can't learn that from books
Stay in the house stay clear of what you fear
And you're old beyond your years

It runneth over now
You can't complain no more
Your bones are cracking now
You'd better knuckle down

You're leaving your long shadows
Leaning into space
And your hardscrabble life
Is written all over your face

Counterfeit the bankroll that was his
Fist of change that was yours
A life so cheap it was cheaper than it looked
You can learn that from books

It runneth over now
You can't complain no more
Your bones are cracking now
You'd better knuckle down

Leave you with a prayer book
And a pocket full of grace
And your hardscrabbled life
Is written all over your face

Life's so cheap, life's so cheap
It's so mean it's crueler than your dreams
And it's worse than it seems

Life?s so cheap
It?s so mean
Life?s so cheap
It?s so mean
Life?s so cheap

Whisper in my ear
Whisper in my ear
Whisper in the night
Whisper all the time

Life's so cheap, yeah
