Guided by the hand of the selector
All the self-destruction redeemed
Not one to surrender to devotion
But there's a first time for everything

I didn't get tired eyes from the sunshine, now it's showtime
So Laissez-faire with my tangled hair, so devil-may-care
To live the dream, you gotta feed the fiend
You gotta make the scene
Just close your eyes if you get scared

Cruel streak
You need a cruel streak
Cruel streak
Oh, you need a cruel streak
Cruel streak
Yeah, if you wanna play nice with me
Cruel streak
Ooh, you need a cruel streak
Cruel streak
I said, "Give me that cruel streak"
Cruel streak
Oh, if you wanna play nice with me, yeah

I've heard the guilty beg for mercy
I've seen the forgiven rise again
Said the dead, they're in no hurry
They know that the song, it never ends, no

I didn't get tired eyes from the sunshine, now it's showtime
My Laissez-faire with my tangled hair, so devil-may-care
To live the dream, you gotta feed the fiend
You gotta make the scene
Just close your eyes if you get scared, yeah

Cruel streak
You need a cruel streak
Cruel streak
Oh, you need a cruel streak
Cruel streak
Yeah, if you wanna play nice with me
Cruel streak
Oh, you need a cruel streak
Cruel streak
I said, "Give me that cruel streak"
Cruel streak
Oh, if you wanna play nice with me, yeah

I didn't get, a-get tired eyes from the sunshine
Now it's showtime
So Laissez-faire with my tangled hair, I'm so devil-may-care
To live the dream, you gotta feed the fiend
You gotta make the scene
Just close your eyes if you get scared

Cruel streak
Oh, you need a cruel streak
Cruel streak
Whoa, you need a cruel streak
Cruel streak
Yeah, if you wanna play nice with me
Cruel streak
Oh yeah, you need a cruel streak
Cruel streak
Ah, gimme, gimme that cruel streak
Cruel streak
Ooh yeah, if you wanna play nice with me
Yeah, if you wanna get down with me
