Nol Coward — Twentieth Century Blues

Blues Twentieth century blues They're getting me down Who's Escaped 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? In this strange illusion Chaos and confusion People seem to lose their way What is there to strive for Love or keep alive for Say, 'Hey, hey!' Call it a day Blues Nothing to win or to lose It's getting me down Who's Escaped those weary Twentieth century blues? Why is it that civilized humanity Can make the world so wrong? In this hurly-burly of insanity Our dreams cannot last long We've reached a deadline The press headline Every sorrow Blues value Is news value Tomorrow Blues Twentieth century blues They're getting me down Who's Escaped 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? In this strange illusion Chaos and confusion People seem to lose their way What is there to strive for Love or keep alive for Say, 'Hey, hey!' Call it a day Blues Nothing to win or to lose It's getting me down Who's Escaped those weary Twentieth century blues?
