LYRICS (scroll down)
Lost my job, lost my money in a flash
Watched my old life turn to dust and ash
Called you up on the telephone
Ended up in a new town all alone
Took the bus on the highways tangled up
Felt the billboards' images fuck me up
Buy and sell yourself awake
Fall in love with a new thing every day
It's cold, cold, cruel, cruel world
Saw your hair in the sunlight glistening
Told you stories, you weren't even listening
Living out of an old suitcase
Looking at your stone-cold pretty face
Out of work like a true American
Got real sick with no health-care benefits
Everything turned black and blue
Government says, "We can't take care of you"
Goodbye, goodbye, cruel, cruel world
Larry Beers: drums.
Ezra Furman: vocals, acoustic guitar, organ.
Tim Sandusky: piano.

i miss this ezra. his new stuff isn't as heartfelt

[@anatadic913]

It is, maybe you just don't feel it in your way or relate to it much, but in my opinion she's just getting better with each album.

[@jaysans144]

​@@anatadic913 im glad you like it. im glad people still like ezra's music. its just not for me. i still tune in from time to time to see if the new stuff resonates with me, though.

[@jaysans144]

there was something really raw and painful and real about the earlier albums that i dont think a lot of people care for/understand. i think its better art, but that's just my opinion obviously

[@anatadic913]

@@jaysans144 yeah I understand what you mean. It's ok if you like Ezra's old songs better, I mean there are a lot of albums to listen to so you can pick your favourites of course, what resonates with you and what you enjoy best
