A World of Hurt

CHORUS: We are in a world of hurt,

We are in a world of hurt.

A world of want, a world of need,

Of deprivation and poverty,

You can close your eyes, look the other way,

But I hate to tell you, it won't go away.

CHORUS

A world of grief, a world of pain,

A world of hunger, a world of shame

Where people sleep out on the street,

And little children ain't got food to eat.

CHORUS

You can sweep it all beneath the rug,

Laugh it off with a careless shrug.

Whatever you do won't change the truth,

Just look around you and you'll get living proof,

That we are...

CHORUS

You say these cuts ares no big thing,

Just a little belt-tightening, no suffering,

Go and cut the fat, maybe that's a start,

But I'm here to tell you, if you cut the heart,

We'll be in a world of hurt,

We'll be in a world of hurt,

'Cause we are in a world of hurt,
