Crazy beautiful song11/11/2022 Choose your battles, fight for the good things in this world, and remain focussed on your path as it is your future you are working towards. Don’t ignore what’s happening, but don’t let it consume you. What we have to do is navigate around the obstacles, keep our eyes open and ears to the ground. My interpretation of these words is, Johnny is saying that bad in this world will happen, like it or not. Trust those things that you can never see You got to live with the crooked politician You got to swim with the sharks in the sea You got to wash with the crocodile in the river Verse one of Cruel, Crazy Beautiful World: Bear in mind that the words contained herein, are the author’s interpretation of what he learned from Clegg from listening to his songs over a 40-year period and listening to his stories when seeing him live in concert. You, ultimately, are our leaders in waiting.Ĭlegg wrote “Cruel, Crazy, Beautiful World” for his newborn son Jesse to help him navigate the world and although he’s gone, his wisdom lives through his lyrics and we’ll use them to help you as he helped us. Like us, you need to stay sane, shut out the noise and stay focused. The last 18 months and especially the last two weeks have bought a similar level of upheaval and chaos to the lives of a new generation of young adults, you. They were coping mechanisms in a time of upheaval, turmoil and craziness not only in South Africa but the world over. The beat inspired us to dance and to sing out loud in hope and defiance. Clegg’s song lyrics are life lessons that made sense of the chaos of South Africa in the 80s. It’s a cruel, crazy, beautiful world! Words from the song of the same name written in 1989 by South African legend, Johnny Clegg.
