Lyrics

Goodbye Cruel World

[Verse 1]

All my friends are takin' over

To make a mess of me

All my friends are broke and ugly

And make a mess of me

[Chorus]

Well, I saw the river fall from Heaven

Rain mistakes on me

Then I saw your mother shoot your father

Killed herself the same

[Verse 2]

Well, all my friends have made a cyclone

To make a mess of me

Well, all my friends have broken silence

To make a mess of me, well I said

[Verse 1]

Well, all my friends are takin' over

To make a mess of me

Well, all my friends are broke and ugly

And make a mess of me

[Chorus]

Well, I saw the river fall from Heaven

Rain mistakes on me

Then I saw your mother shoot your father

Killed herself the same

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]

Well, I saw the river fall from Heaven

Rain mistakes on me

Then I saw your mother shoot your father

Killed herself the same

[Outro]

Then I saw her

Then I saw her

Then I saw her

Then I saw her

Get the gun out

Load the bullets

Shoot the fucker in his head
