20th Century Blues

[00:03.05] Why is it that civilized humanity
[00:03.55] Can make the world so wrong?
[00:04.08] In this hurly-burly of insanity
[00:04.58] Our dreams cannot last long.
[00:05.16] We've reached a deadline,
[00:05.67] A press headline,
[00:06.26] Every sorrow.
[00:06.92] Blues value
[00:08.01] Is news value
[00:08.66] Tomorrow.
[00:09.84] Blues
[00:12.48] Twentieth century blues
[00:15.85] Are getting me down.
[00:19.19] Blues
[00:22.12] Escape those weary
[00:23.48] Twentieth century blues.
[00:28.43] Why,
[00:30.98] If there's a God in the sky,
[00:34.75] Why shouldn't He grin
[00:36.73] High
[00:40.77] Above this dreary
[00:42.27] Twentieth century din?
[00:47.15] In this strange illusion,
[00:48.86] Chaos and confusion,
[00:51.16] People seem to lose their way.
[00:54.35] What is there to strive for,
[00:58.26] Love or keep alive for,
[01:00.62] Say, 'Hey, hey!'
[01:03.29] Call it a day?
[01:05.84] Blues
[01:08.35] Nothing to win or to lose,
[01:11.64] It's getting me down.
[01:15.08] Blues
[01:18.63] Escape those weary
[01:20.33] Twentieth century blues.
[01:24.14] We've reached a deadline,
[01:44.10] A press headline,
[01:46.08] Every sorrow.
[01:50.07] Blues value
[01:51.62] Is news value
[01:53.03] Tomorrow.
[01:58.92] Blues
[03:00.91] Nothing to win or to lose,
[03:04.79] It's getting me down.
[03:07.61] Blues
[03:11.23] Escape those dreary
[03:12.87] Twentieth century
[03:15.75] Blues.
