Bruce Cockburn The Blues Got The World Lyrics

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 mountain too I've been in paris doing what the
frenchmen do I've been in boston where the buildings grow so tall Everywhere
you 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 Or down in the washroom you can read it on the wall
Everywhere you look the blues got the world by the balls
