The Blues Got The World... Lyrics

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
