Standard (EADGBE)

Hello cruel world so this is you

 A broken heart a withered view

 I'm looking out to face another day

The angry mob, the happy mass

 This birthday cake may be the last

 I'm looking out to find another way

Norman Rockwell colours fade

 All my favorite things have changed

 What the hell,

 Hello cruel world

I thought I heard an opera star

 Who had no home under the stars

 She sang and sang and sang the night away

And Mother Nature changed her name

 She doesn't want to play the game

 I don't believe she'll ever be the same

So Big Brother never came

 Howdy-Doody gets the blame

 But what the hell

 Hello cruel world

Bad and beautiful and strange

 Monkeys dancing in a cage

 But what the hell

 Hello cruel world

Venus de Milo grew an arm

 And Old MacDonald bought the farm

 Say goodbye

 Hello cruel world

do do do-do do do do do do do do-do do do do do

do do do-do do do do do do do do-do do do do do

do do do-do do do do do

Norman Rockwell colours fade

 All my favorite things have changed

 But what the hell, hello cruel world

Bad and beautiful and strange

 Monkeys dancing in a cage

 But what the hell

 Hello cruel world

 (Say goodbye, hello cruel world)

 But what the hell

 Hello cruel world (do do do-do do do do-do) [repeat backup vox to end]

 (Hello hello, Ooooh ooooh do do do-do dooooo)

 Hello cruel world
