Cruel Old Sun Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The giver of life's tryin' to take it away
In the desert you always feel half-dead
Trapped in the Akhe-nettin' there's no forgettin'
Where it is we come from

[Chorus]
Just slaving away
Underneath the cruel old sun
Just slaving away
Underneath the cruel old sun

[Verse 2]
She's a tall drink of water upon the palanquin
She's outta my league still I can't help thinkin'
I got me a job, I'm gonna get 'er done

[Chorus]
You get crazy ideas
Underneath the cruel old sun [Bridge]
Baby, out here it sure is hot
And I can't help but notice what you got
Now that slavedriver man, he never gonna understand
And the years get swallowed up by the sand

[Verse 3]
The giver of life's gonna blow us away
In the dessert you always feel half-dead
Trapped in the Akhe-nettin' there's no forgettin'
Where it is we come from

[Chorus]
Just slaving away
Underneath the cruel old sun
Just slaving away
Underneath the cruel old sun
