Lyrics

Blues all in the papers
Blues in the magazines
Blues on the radio
Blues on the TV screen
Everywhere you turn
You're looking at sad, sad news
Seems like the whole world
The world world's got the blues
Blues in the morning
Blues all through the night
Went to see my doctor
She said everything's alright
Still I can't shake the feeling
No matter what I do
Seems like the whole world
The world world's got the blues
When to church on Sun'
To lay my burden down
Not a single soul was smiling
Everybody wore a frown
When the preacher said it's hard times
He got an amen from every peo'
Seems like the whole world
The world world's got the blues
Blue's out in the border
Blue's in the Middle East
Blue's runnin' through the alley
Blue's creepin' up Wall Street
People what's going on?
How can we break this suffering spell
I pray we gonna make it
But only time will tell
Time will tell
I was rolling 'round the midnight
I can't get to sleep (yeah, yeah, yeah)
If there's hope for the future
It's gonna take a quantum year
Can't shake the feeling
People do you feel it too?
Seems like the whole world
The world world's got the blues (yeah)
Seems like the whole world
The world world's got the blues (yeah)
Seems like the whole world
The world world's got the blues
(Pulling off my car, step outside
I'm feeling, I'm just seen enough)
Seems like the whole world (seem like)
The world world's got the blues
Got the blues (got the blues)
Mmm
