20Th Century BluesWhy is it that civilized humanityCan make the world so wrong? In this hurly-burly of insanity Our dreams cannot last long We've reached a deadline A press headline Every sorrow Blues value Is news value Tomorrow Blues.. Twentieth century blues Are getting me down Blues... Escape 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 Blues... Escape those weary Twentieth century blues We've reached a deadline A press headline Every sorrow Blues value Is news value Tomorrow Blues... Nothing to win or to lose It's getting me down Blues... Escape those dreary Twentieth century Blues |
