about

The sweet riff in this song is ripped off from my friend Ben Roberson. I stole from him fair and square.

lyrics

These days they drive me crazy
I don't know what to do
So I go out searchin' for
a way to cure my blues

Come home from a hard days work
sit down flip on the news
they say we started a new war
now I've got to cure my blues

Step into that ballot box
they say I've got to choose
between two evils
but neither got my cure for the blues

In a world of competition
somebody's got to lose
so fight your way to the top
or find yourself with the bottom blues

some people go to church
some people drink the booze
but living in ignorance
that won't cure my blues

they tell me just get comfy
sit down and consume
but none of that plastic shit
will cure my blues

I think I hear it coming
that impending doom
from the summit I hear the plummet
that harsh ground is coming soon
