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, |
|
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. |
