Cold World 04:01
COLD WORLD VERSE 1 It’s a cold cold world That we’re living in You got to work hard Just to say that you can live That’s a cold cold heart Beating in your chest But don’t you be so mean, baby That you can’t find no rest. CHORUS It’s so cold It’s so cold That you can’t win VERSE 2 It’s a cold cold world But don’t let it get you down Can’t you see, it’s killing me Living day by day By and by It won’t get you that far With not a dime to spare There’s hard times everywhere CHORUS VERSE 3 So they talkin’ bout love now But they don’t teach you how to show it You let the world get you down And turn your heart so cold Oh it’s a goddamn shame Everybody’s playing a game Can’t ever tell Who really is your friend CHORUS BRIDGE Metal heart Made of stone Behind all these walls There’s a heart of gold Letitgoletitgo Let it go Be yourself In a world, that’s so cold You can fight but you’ll never win OUTRO It’s a cold cold world Oh baby! It’s a cold cold world Don’t ya let it get ya down now Yes it’s a cold cold world

Crossroad

about

"After their critically acclaimed LP “Arcadia” THE BUTTSHAKERS return with a powerful new 45” in celebration of Record Store Day. A two-sided slab of heavy hitting soul grooves.
Cold World, with it’s darker, Stax-influenced horn hook, drives the listener on with an infectious groove and heart-wrenching vocals. The riff is heavy, but the message remains hopeful: stay golden in a cold, isolating world. A post-covid soul anthem.
On the b-side, THE BUTTSHAKERS sink into the bluesy-country roots of soul music with CROSSROAD. The intimate guitar-voice of the intro gives way to a feverish drum and bass rhythm sent straight from the bayou. The song galops and races, taking the listener on a strange and dreary trip to meet the Devil at the crossroad. A story of legends; reimagined with some twang and a whole lotta soul."

about

THE BUTTSHAKERS Lyon, France

Driven by a vicious and visceral soul, The Buttshakers are known for their fierce and fiery music: turntables steam from the heat of their records, dance floors buckle under the blistering pressure of their infectious grooves, a group with a burning Midas’ touch.
Yet after nearly a decade of touring and recording, it was with a different musical vision that they approached Sweet Rewards.
