Blues

Twentieth century blues

They're getting me down

Who's

Escaped those weary

Twentieth century blues

Why

If there's a god in the sky

Why shouldn't he grin

High

Above this dreary

Twentieth century din

In this strange illusion

Chaos and confusion

People seem to lose their way

What is there to strive for

Love or keep alive for

Say hey hey

Call it a day

Blues

Nothing to win or to lose

It's getting me down

Who's

Escaped those weary

Twentieth century blues

Why is it that civilized humanity

Can make the world so wrong

In this hurly burly of insanity

Our dreams cannot last long

We've reached a deadline

The press headline

Every sorrow

Blues value

Is news value

Tomorrow
