20Th Century Blues Lyrics

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
