Cruel Lyrics - Going Out In Style - Dropkick Murphys

We were born into nothing, hard up so to speak 

But love and affection this family afforded me 

Worries came early and often it seemed 

Fate was not pleasant still I was redeemed 

Then compassion soon faded to chaos 

As they did their best all the while 

When circumstance outweighs intention 

Sometimes the mountain's just too hard to climb 

They were cruel, they were ignorant 

They were beauty, they were kind 

They were patience, they were virtue 

They were crazy, they were mine 

I was young and I thought I knew everything 

It's so hard to change a fool's mind 

When you're stubborn by nature and quick to the draw 

And you're full of inherited pride 

But some lessons come harder than others 

And some senses are harder to find 

Your troubles won't end when you're saved by the bell 

You'll still answer to those you defied 

They were cruel, they were ignorant 

They were beauty, they were kind 

They were patience, they were virtue 

They were crazy, they were mine 

The heavens might sing out your praises 

But the heavens won't pay for your lies 

The sinners might pray for your problems 

But the sinners won't look in your eye 

They were crazy, they were mine 

They were cruel, they were ignorant 

They were beauty, they were kind 

They were patience, they were virtue 

They were crazy, they were mine 

The heavens might sing out your praises 

But the heavens won't pray for your lies 

The sinners might pay for your problems 

But the sinner won't look in your eye
