Lyrics Squeeze – Heartbreaking World
Text:
The saddest thing I’ve ever seen
Was a starving face on my TV screen
The desperate face that I saw
Had my disbelief hanging from my jaw
Our harvest could be shared around
Instead it’s buried in the ground
The saddest thing I’ve ever seen
Was a football fan dying for his team
The toughest thing I have ever known
Was a soldier boy who never made it home
It’s fiction live before our eyes
It leaves me cold and my heart cries
Instead it’s buried in the ground
The saddest thing I’ve ever seen
Was a football fan dying for his team
The toughest thing I have ever known
Was a soldier boy who never made it home
It’s fiction live before our eyes
It leaves me cold and my heart cries
The greatest thing I’ve ever seen
Was a newborn child looking up at me
The greatest sound I’ve ever heard
Was a baby’s cry in this wicked world
The innocence of that cry
Leaves me cold and my heart cries
It’s a heartbreaking world if you want it to be
It’s a heartbreaking world if you want it to be
It’s a heartbreaking world if you want it to be
And you’re the one that breaks it for me
