Somebody help me
Got no time to lose
My time is short
If you believe the news
No time to waste
No time to pick and choose
Somebody help me
Got the God forsaken blues
Where I grew up
Is like a foreign land
The idea of progress
I don't understand
The land that nurtured me is
Paved over and abused
I'm not mistaken
I've got the
God forsaken blues
If your feelin' like you got the short end of the stick
You breath the air, but it just makes you sick
You're up against it but it just makes you more confused
You can rest assured you got the
God Forsaken Blues
I'd jump in this river but it
Has gone bone dry
It's enough to make a
Grown man cry
One eye on progress
A blind eye to what we lose
Somebody help me
Got the God forsaken blues
Somebody help me
Somebody help me
Somebody help me
