20th Century Blues

(альбом: 20th Century Blues - 1997)

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
