Cold Cruel World
by Jerry Boutot

One billion soldiers equipped and strong
Parading into lands unknown knowing they will surely die
Each hoping he will be the one
To break through the barrier and be granted everlasting life

The DNA life program commences execution
Connecting links in molecular chains to build the body human
Perfection in construction is the key to you and me

Floating endlessly – wild – and free
Is how a perfect life should be

Now your first sense of awareness in this long and endless dream
Is of being ripped away with enormous pain from the safety of the world you need

A thrashing fish taken out of the water
A bulldozer plows down an ancient tree
A cold slap in the naked face of reality
And you cry for the end of a dream

It’s a cold, cruel world out there
It’s a cold, cruel world out there
You never used to have a care
And it’s a cold, cruel world out there
