  • Bodies, can't you see what everybody wants from you?

    Forgive the kids, for they don't know how to live
    Run the alleys casually cruel
    Cruel, oh

    Bodies, can't you see what everybody wants from you?
    For you could want that, too
    They could take or leave you
    So they took you, and they left you
    How could they be casually cruel?
    Cruel, oh
    Cruel, cruel, oh

    Bodies, can't you see what everybody wants from you?
    If you could want that too, then you'll be happy

    You were the one waving flares in the air so they could see you
    And they were a zephyr, blowing past ya
    Blowing fastly so they can't see ya
    Cruel, cruel, oh
    Cruel, cruel, oh

    Cruel, cruel, oh
    Cruel, cruel, oh Writer/s: Anne Clark
