The Blues Got The World...

i've been down to parliament i've been in school
i've been in jail to learn the golden rule
i've been to the workhouse, served
my time in those hallowed halls
the only thing i know
is the blues got the world by the balls
i've been to the tundra and the mountains too
i've been in Paris doing what the freshmen do
i've been in Boston where the buildings grow
so tall
everywhere i go
the blues got the world by the balls
you can catch'em from the preacher
or from the pool shark
you can find'em in the grammar of the
socialite's remark
down in the washroom
you can read it on the wall
everywhere you look
the blues got the world by the balls
