You're a living sin
You're the harlequin in a one-act play
And you've given up
Even though you can't say why
So your hero died back in 69
Well, that's no excuse
To go lose yourself in a FM headphone high
It's a heartless world
It's a heartless world

Have you had enough?
Are you going back to that crazy place?
Are you listening?
Am I talking to myself?
Well, it's sad to say
But it's just that way
And it'll never change, never change
Have you won or lost?
You know it's hard to tell
It's a heartless world
It's a heartless world

And some room to breathe
May be all you need
To get on your feet
And the time to step outside
And see the sky
Ooh, no, no, no
It's a heartless world
It's a heartless world

Will you control me
Will you please hold me
Don't let me show my vicious side

If you disown me
If you've outgrown me
I'll change my name and say goodbye 

It's a heartless world
A heartless world
A heartless world

Will you control me
Will you please hold me
Don't let me show my vicious side

If you disown me
If you've outgrown me
I'll change my name and say goodbye 

It's a heartless world
A heartless world
A heartless world
