Cruel Crazy Beautiful World Lyrics - Singles - Johnny Clegg & Savuka

You have to wash with the crocodile in the river 

You have to swim with the sharks in the sea 

You have to live with the crooked politician 

Trush those things that you can never see 

Ayeye ayeye jesse mfana (jesse boy) ayeye ayeye 

Chorus: 

It's a cruel crazy beautiful world 

Every time you wake up I hope it's under a blue sky 

It's a cruel crazy beautiful world 

One day when you wake up I will have to say goodbye 

Goodbye -- it's your world so live in it! 

Beyond the door, strange cruel beautiful years lie waiting for you 

It kills me to know you won't escape loneliness, 

Maybe you lose hope too 

Ayeye ayeye jesse mfana ayeye ayeye 

Chorus 

When I feel your small body close to mine 

I feel weak and strong at the same time 

So few years to give you wings to fly 

Show you the stars to guide your ship by 

Chorus 

It's your world so live in it
