Even the blues gets the blues
Even the saddest things on earth must pay their dues
They never had an option
Or a choice to choose
Even the blues gets the blues
Since the dawn of humankind
There has been such trouble on their mind
Every lover left behind
Every dream that came to die
Since the dawn of humankind
Try as they might
There is no respite
The blues are getting bluer all the time
In warmth's absence only bitter cold
Felt in bodies that turned frail and old
Missed opportunities
Every truth which wasn't told
In warmth's absence only cold
The universe didn't deal out fair
It gave some plenty and it left some bare
It made some folks a crown
And some a sock without a pair
The universe didn't turn out fair
It hits hard and fast
And heavy as a house full of bricks
It can crush the strongest soul
Before it can even flinch
Even the blues gets the blues
Even the saddest things on earth must pay their dues
They never had an option
Or a choice to choose
Even the blues gets the blues
Even the blues gets the blues
Even the blues gets the blues
