Текст песни: The Blues (I Used to Sing Them)

The Blues LyricsLord have mercy
Lord have mercy on my soul
Oh, I've been searchin
But I can't find my soul

I used to sing the blues
Now I don't get shit confused
I've been walkin' and walkin' and walkin' in these shoes, uh
I think it's time to move
'Cause I don't know what to do
Should I make a new life for me
Make a new life for you?
Uh, see I don't care if you're black, if you're white
If your granny rides a bike
If you heads are full of soundbites
And negitively found stripes
[?]
I'm shedding you in darker lights
Yeah, I'm shinin'
Yeah, I'm shinin through a hard life
And don't expect no clichés like I've been through pain and strife
My brain's a sharp knife, but now I choose to live my life right
'Cause out there, like minds, you see some real sights
I'm with them all, I feel their hunger, feel their free for all
I feel that no one cares if I fall
I hit the same walls
I hit the rich kids in the Uni walls
Their new shoes
Man, the things I do
I smoke the blues

I used to sing the blues
Now I don't get shit confused
I've been walkin and walkin and walkin in these shoes
I think it's time to move
'Cause I don't know what to do
Should I make a new life for me
Make a new life for you?
See, I'm not in the mood for cornershop psychology
You just keep on chipping away and see psychotic me
I'll confess my sins when you get a labotomy
Stop it please, I got bigger mouths to feed
I got bigger dreams to dream
[?]
Save the dramas like the Hoff
Man, they said I'd never be a lot
You said, she said, he said, yeah, they said a lot
[?]
I love the way they look at me

I used to sing the blues
Now I don't get shit confused
I've been walkin' and walkin' and walkin' in these shoes
I think it's time to move
'Cause I don't know what to do
Should I make a new life for me
Make a new life for you?

And make it golden, golden
For me and you
For me and you
Oh
For me and you
For me and you
Oh
I used to sing the blues
Now I don't get shit confused
I've been walkin' and walkin' and walkin' in these shoes (oh, I've been walkin')
I think it's time to move (I think it's time to move)
Please, I don't know what to do (oh, I don't know what to do)
Should I make a new life for me
Make a new life for you?

Should I keep singing the blues? (Should I keep singing the blues?)
Should I keep singing the blues? (Should I keep singing the blues?)
Should I keep singing the blues? (Should I keep singing the blues?)
[Repeated "oh"s]
