Cruel Kids Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Slow dance with me in traffic
Handmake our pornographics
I'd crash my automatic
To spend time with you
But I took too many drugs tonight
Now I can’t hold myself upright
But I know that you'll be somewhere out there
Suffering too
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't leave me alone, don’t leave me alone
Don't leave me alone 'cause I won't survive it
Don't leave me alone, don't leave me alone
Don't leave me alone 'cause I won’t survive it
[Chorus]
But I know I don’t wanna do what the cruel kids do
'Cause they’re so confused
I don't wanna like what the cruel kids like
I'd rather burn alive
I want a better life, I want a better life, I want a better life
'Cause I know I don’t wanna do what the cruel kids do
I want a better life (Yeah)
[Verse 2]
Uncensored conversation
Art is dead, killed by information
And I feel so fucking frustrated
'Cause I'm guilty too, yeah
Slow dance with me in traffic
Handmake our pornographics
I'd crash my automatic
To spend time with you
But I took too many drugs tonight
Now I can’t hold myself upright
But I know that you'll be somewhere out there
Suffering too
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't leave me alone, don’t leave me alone
Don't leave me alone 'cause I won't survive it
Don't leave me alone, don't leave me alone
Don't leave me alone 'cause I won’t survive it
[Chorus]
But I know I don’t wanna do what the cruel kids do
'Cause they’re so confused
I don't wanna like what the cruel kids like
I'd rather burn alive
I want a better life, I want a better life, I want a better life
'Cause I know I don’t wanna do what the cruel kids do
I want a better life (Yeah)
[Verse 2]
Uncensored conversation
Art is dead, killed by information
And I feel so fucking frustrated
'Cause I'm guilty too, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't leave me alone, don't leave me alone
Don't leave me alone 'cause I won't survive it
Don't leave me alone, don't leave me alone
Don't leave me alone 'cause I won't survive it
[Chorus]
I don't wanna do what the cruel kids do
'Cause they're so confused
I don't wanna like what the cruel kids like
I'd rather burn alive
I want a better life, I want a better life, I want a better life
'Cause I know I don't wanna do what the cruel kids do
I want a better life
[Outro]
(Don't leave me alone, don't leave me alone)
(Don't leave me alone 'cause I won't survive it)
(Don't leave me alone, don't leave me alone)
(Don't leave me alone 'cause I won't survive it)
Don't leave me alone, don't leave me alone
Don't leave me alone 'cause I won't survive it
Don't leave me alone, don't leave me alone
Don't leave me alone 'cause I won't survive it
[Chorus]
I don't wanna do what the cruel kids do
'Cause they're so confused
I don't wanna like what the cruel kids like
I'd rather burn alive
I want a better life, I want a better life, I want a better life
'Cause I know I don't wanna do what the cruel kids do
I want a better life
[Outro]
(Don't leave me alone, don't leave me alone)
(Don't leave me alone 'cause I won't survive it)
(Don't leave me alone, don't leave me alone)
(Don't leave me alone 'cause I won't survive it)

What did YUNGBLUD say about "Cruel Kids"?
Genius Answer
Me and [Bastille’s] Dan [Smith]. I always respected Dan. Great fucking writer. He came by the studio one day, and I played him this idea. When you meet artists, they can send you in a different direction. A lot of people don’t know I really love Radiohead. And I really love Kid A. I really love the reverse snares and the madness of it all. We went down in that direction.
