sky blew in with the weather from the west
to find peace and happiness, love and all the rest
she's an artist living life to the best (of her ability)
went to the museum, took in all the art
saw it with her eyes, felt it with her heart
she could never leave, it would tear her soul apart
now she's in the gallery every night of the week
drinks so much gin, girl can hardly even speak
life of an artist doesn't come cheap

some people have the right
to give their point of view
to put it on the internet
for the likes of me and you
but I'm not so sure
do we really need all of their lies
I guess I could be thinking
I wish we lived in a simple time
we've go mobile phones and pings
for every kind of thing
from weight loss to disease
even if you want a fling
but I'm not so sure
do we really need all of their lies
I guess I could be thinking
I wish we lived in a simple time
there's people we can't beat
not even if we cheat
they've got all the riches in the world
all the money they can eat
but I'm not so sure
do we really need all of their lies
I guess I could be thinking
I wish we lived in a simple time
so I guess we'll be just fine
If I continue to make my rhymes
and we ask for their opinions to be kept
where the sun don't shine
but I'm not so sure
do we really need all of their lies
I guess I could be thinking
I wish we lived in a simple time

I want to take it with me, when I die
I want to take it with me, wonder why
I want to take it with me, you may ask
I got myself in trouble I need to, pay the man
and he only takes,hard, hard cash
I want to take it with me, keep it safe
I want to take it with me, beyond the grave
I want to take it with me, 'cos I can
I got myself in trouble I need to, pay the man
and he only takes,hard, hard cash
I want to take it with me, it's so good
I want to take it with me, like Robin Hood
I want to take it with me, from the bank
I got myself in trouble I need to, pay the man
and he only takes,hard, hard cash

Loneliness is a blues, comes for you at 2 am
Loneliness is a blues, comes for you at 2 am
You know when you’re lonely, up at this time without a friend
Loneliness is a blues, knows no bounds
Loneliness is a blues, knows no bounds
Comes for you in the middle of the night, doesn’t even make a sound
Loneliness is a blues, coming for me all my life
Loneliness is a blues, coming for me all my life
Sometimes all I can do is play my guitar to ease my troubled mind
Loneliness is a blues, none of us are immune
Loneliness is a blues, none of us are immune
Like a virus on the soul, watch out it doesn’t come for you

Just be cool, be your natural self
Be the kindest kinda person
You can be to someone else
We don't need no more opinions
About our National Health
No one wants to see pictures of your dinner
And no one cares about your wealth
Just be cool, be your natural self
Be the kindest kinda person
You can be to someone else
We all feel the same frustration
About the way this world is run
No need to make it your mission
To go around shouting at everyone
Just be cool, be your natural self
Be the kindest kinda person
You can be to someone else

this ain't nothing but the blues
the place where we go to pay our dues
to the good sounds of old and the great times of new
and how the evening goes, well that's just up to you
This ain't nothing but the blues!
now you've come out tonight to have a good time
and all your troubles have just been consigned
to the great waste paper basket up in the sky
together we're gonna create the sublime
This ain't nothing but the blues!
i can see some of you have got to your feet
and I can blame you with this funky beat
look around and you'll see those smiles so sweet
and think to yourself "hey! this is how it always ought to be"
This ain't nothing but the blues!
if you get tired and your head begins to spin
don't worry that's the blues kicking in
you can always go to the bar and get yourself a drink
'cos it's cheaper than going to a shrink
This ain't nothing but the blues!
This ain't nothing but the blues!
This ain't nothing but the blues!

I was born in the country, I was raised on the city street
I was born in the country, I was raised on the city street
when you move up to the city, won't believe just what you see...
I've seen the fickle face of fame
seen the people out their brains
seen women in the gutter and a man thrown from a train
I was born in the country, I was raised on the city street
when you move up to the city, won't believe just what you see...
seen the delegation of a king
pandemic in full swing
I've witnessed every beauty and I've committed every sin
I was born in the country, I was raised on the city street
when you move up to the city, won't believe just what you see...
seen the people who are beat
alcoholics on the street
I've walked amongst the best of them and felt their every need
I was born in the country, I was raised on the city street
when you move up to the city, won't believe just what you see...
seen the people who just shout
the hopeless down and outs
the suits in limousines are coming you better just watch out
I was born in the country, I was raised on the city street
I've got a pretty good bullshit meter, so don't you waste your time on me

she's a burglar, woman broke into my mind
she's a burglar, woman broke into my mind
broke in once, took all that she could find
broke in twice, nearly made me lose my mind
broke in three times, it was really out of line
that woman's a thief but she's so fine
she's a burglar, woman won't leave me alone
she's a burglar, woman won't leave me alone
broke in once, had no self control
broke in twice, she was still out on parole
broke in three times, she was worse than Al Capone
that woman's a thief but she's so fine
she's a burglar, woman broke into my head
she's a burglar, woman broke into my head
broke in once, took all the words I said
broke in twice, and she pushed me into bed
broke in three times, nearly drove me to the edge
that woman's a thief but she's so fine

you're my witchdoctor baby, you control the way I feel
you're my witchdoctor baby, you control the way I feel
no need for no potion and I don't need no pills
you're my witchdoctor baby, you cast your spell with a smile
you're my witchdoctor baby, you cast your spell with a smile
I fall deep in love with you every time I look into your eyes
you're my witchdoctor baby, you've got me eating right out of your hand
you're my witchdoctor baby, you've got me eating right out of your hand
well you taste so good, you must be contraband
you're my witchdoctor baby, you've got me deep down under your spell
you're my witchdoctor baby, you've got me deep down under your spell
and you've turned my universe into one that's parallel

well here we are once again
my guitar is in my hand
trying to comprehend
just how we got back here again
international rescue can you hear my mayday call
international rescue can you hear my mayday call
people down upon their knees
praying for a slight reprieve
a gasp of air a breath to breathe
while others act so shamefully
international rescue can you hear my mayday call
international rescue can you hear my mayday call
so help us out of this hole
it's way beyond our control
all we wanted was to rock 'n' roll
but we're caught up in this strangle hold

good life, good life's worth living
a good life's worth living
if we don't care for each other
what good's it gonna do?
we're at the crossroads
hard times, hard times are coming
hard times are coming
gonna drag us down about as low as we can go
we're at the crossroads
good times, good times have gone yeah
good times have gone yeah
death and destruction are the ways of this world
we're at the crossroads
conclusion's not foregone
somehow we're going wrong
to be born is not to buy
people please be strong
we can all belong
all we have to do is try
