She has got no questions about what is right for her
And he has got no answers cause he lives inside a blur
both of them get something from the things they're going through
It may be a mystery to you... but then you're a mystery too
People's lives are strange and can't be understood
sometimes I try to help them out but it don't do no good
they got that private suffering... they feed it in the dark
they keep on circling the block; can't find a place to park
They got the blues inside them
but no music’s coming out
they got that old-time angry blues
that makes-em jump and shout
they got the blues that aren't blue
and blues that won't turn black
they say the white man's crazy
I ain't arguing with that
All the unreal lives on this reality TV
they talk about their fuzzy pets and what they like to eat
they pick their nose on camera while they're singing out of tune
Just tell them Reggie sent you... and they'll offer you the moon
They're going nuts in Florida about feeding tubes and God
They're sleeping in their lounge chairs like a junkie on the nod
They listen to the phony news that tells them what to think
Their hearts are in the closet and their minds are on the blink
They got the blues inside them
but no music’s coming out
they got that old-time angry blues
that makes-em Jump and shout
they got the blues that aren't blue
and blues that won't turn black
they say the white man's crazy
I ain't arguing with that
It's another kind of blue's HARRP that brought Haiti to its knees.
And the ones who made it happen also run the charities
They're gonna make a fortune from the rock god's telethon (Go Bono!!!)
Bush... and his boy Clinton... they just keep on keeping on
I don't want to be a cynic, you know I want to believe
But monsters walk among us with a dagger up their sleeve
They murder and they torture folk across the Middle East
Now they're gonna take Ukraine and feed it to the beast.
They got the blues inside them
but no music’s coming out
they got that old-time angry blues
that makes-em jump and shout
they got the blues that aren't blue
and blues that won't turn black
they say the white man's crazy
I ain't arguing with that
they say the white man's crazy
I ain't arguing with that
