You talk your way out of this
Did someone flip your switch?
Now there is only right or wrong
Can you tell which is which?
But it was so much easier
When I was cruel
Why did you leave, you had a home
Why did you travel far abroad -
So you could sleep with strangers?
You must have heard just how absurd
The words poured out of you, you fraud
I guess you don t know what pain is
So don t pretend you re innocent
Do I look like a fool?
I guess you have forgotten
When I was cruel
Oh when I was cruel and I could make you so unhappy
Lonely cowards followed me like ghouls
And you liked me too
[tacet]
When I was cruel
Oh, you know you did
But if you should feel anything,
A signal from within
Go back in your laboratory
And try to dial it in
But if you should feel anything,
A signal from without
Abandon your dreams of vengeance
So don t protest your innocence
The truth is hard to judge
Perhaps you have forgotten when
I held a grudge
Oh when I was cruel and I could make you very sorry
Lonely cowards followed me like ghouls
And you liked me too
[tacet]
When I was cruel
Oh, you know you did
When I was cruel
