It's Cruel Enough

[Verse 1] Mud on my hem Dust on your grin You came in swinging Like you own sin I got a hard day A weak little cup If your tongue’s a blade Best put it up [Pre-Chorus] I’ve seen cold eyes At the churchyard gate Heard mean mouths Talk too late [Chorus] The world is cruel enough Don’t be an ass The world is cruel enough Let that one pass Hold your rough words back Leave them in the grass The world is cruel enough Don’t be an ass [Verse 2] My daddy told me When the frost got deep Some folks bite hard When they can’t sleep So keep an eye open Keep your guard high Suffer no fools deeds Just Show them why [Pre-Chorus] I’ve buried my pride By the fence post line I can share my shade If you mind mine [Chorus] The world is cruel enough Don’t be an ass The world is cruel enough Let that one pass Hold your rough words back Leave them in the grass The world is cruel enough Don’t be an ass [Bridge] There’s a field full of names Under moonlit stone Every one of them knew What it meant to be alone So if your heart’s all splinters And your hands are full of spite Set it down by the gate We can live through the night [Final Chorus] The world is cruel enough Don’t be an ass The world is cruel enough Let that one pass Hold your rough words back Leave them in the grass The world is cruel enough Don’t be an ass The world is cruel enough Don’t be an ass The world is cruel enough Let that one pass
