20th 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 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
