Dropkick Murphys - Cruel Lyrics
We were born into nothing, hard up so to speakBut love and affection this family afforded meWorries came early and often it seemedFate was not pleasant still I was redeemedThen compassion soon faded to chaosAs they did their best all the whileWhen circumstance outweighs intentionSometimes the mountain's just too hard to climbThey were cruel, they were ignorantThey were beauty, they were kindThey were patience, they were virtueThey were crazy, they were mineI was young and I thought I knew everythingIt's so hard to change a fool's mindWhen you're stubborn by nature and quick to the drawAnd you're full of inherited prideBut some lessons come harder than othersAnd some senses are harder to findYour troubles won't end when you're saved by the bellYou'll still answer to those you defiedThey were cruel, they were ignorantThey were beauty, they were kindThey were patience, they were virtueThey were crazy, they were mineThe heavens might sing out your praisesBut the heavens won't pay for your liesThe sinners might pray for your problemsBut the sinners won't look in your eyeThey were crazy, they were mineThey were cruel, they were ignorantThey were beauty, they were kindThey were patience, they were virtueThey were crazy, they were mineThe heavens might sing out your praisesBut the heavens won't pray for your liesThe sinners might pay for your problemsBut the sinner won't look in your eye
