[Verse 1]
He prophesied that God would come
He's been and gone, left you alone
His tongues and eyes, oh why, why would I?
So you wouldn't try to have her believe it
[Chorus]
It's obvious, so come to your senses
Take a ride to the times you live in
You're no fool, just a cruel, cruel animal
Are you so cruel? You're such a cruel, cruel animal
[Verse 2]
In came the flood, in came the flood
And everything (and everything) is as it was (is as it was)
The vacant earth, cold dawn out of bed
The darkened sky, the same sky you're dressed in
[Chorus]
It's obvious, so come to your senses
Take a ride to the times you live in
You're no fool, just a cruel, cruel animal
Are you so cruel? You're such a cruel, cruel animal
