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 I'ts 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
Oo, no, no, no
It's a heartless world
Oo, no, no, no

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
