Eddy Clearwater lyrics

Messed Up World blues 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
