In this hurly burly of insanity Our dreams cannot last long We've reached a deadline A press headline, every sorrow Blues value is news value Tomorrow Blues Twentieth century blues Are getting me down Blues Escape those weary Twentieth century blues Why, if there's a God in the sky Why shouldn't He grin High above this dreary Twentieth century din?
