You Gotta Read the News To Play the Blues
yeah i feel a lotta
sayin' that it ain't
really what it seems
a comin' on
what your momma
and her second personality
told you bout
my silly song,
it ain't wrong.
kinda makes me
wanna bang the gong,
but it goes on,
back and forth
like ping-pong.
every no-good goody-two-shoes
try'na play the blues
without readin' the news
boo-hoo, ineptitude.
the ruling class can't
harass me because i
dash too fast
through the past
to a safe place
at last.
