I’m gonna write me a blues tune,
I’m gonna sing it on the radio
I’m gonna write me a blues tune,
I’m gonna sing it on the radio
Gonna play it over’n’over
till everybody knows how it go
Gonna learn some fancy footwork
Gonna dance the night away
Gonna learn some fancy footwork
Gonna dance the night away
Gonna dance around and around
Till everybody dances my way
Gonna write you a love song,
Gonna play it to you all night long
Gonna write you a love song,
Gonna play it to you all night long
Gonna play it over and over
Till everybody sings along

Well I woke up this morning Yes it’s morning time again
So I ask myself a question
that's been stuck here in my brain
Can a white boy sing the blues ?
Can a white boy play the blues ?
Well if you gonna leave me mama
I cant see how it ain’t true
So I went down to the diner to get myself a bite
But the question went unanswered like a mystery in the night
Can a white boy play the blues?
Yeah Can a white boy play the blues?
Well if you gonna leave me mama
I can’t see how it ain’t true
So I spent the day alone till no hours did remain
It sure got kinda lonely but the question’s still the same
Can a white boy play the blues ?
Yeah Can a white boy sing the blues ?
Well if you gonna leave me mama
I can’t see how it ain’t true
Well I'm seeking satisfaction from these quandaries of my mind
It’s my pursuit for knowledge the only comfort I can find
Since you left me baby I’m so lonely it's not true
But as least I found my answer
Here’s one white boy’s playin’ the blues

Looking Out

Lady wont you smile for me Maybe make me laugh
I know it could be a while Before we can make things last
Lady don’t you cry for me Wipe the tears away
I know you would lie for me But believe me we wont have to one day
Cause we’re looking out at the front of the road Please don’t look behind
There’s no need to search in the past my love
Cause you don’t know what you might find
No you don’t know what you might find
what you might find
Lady won’t you dance for me Flash your eyes so bright
Golden hair that shines at me Like golden morning light
Morning leaves the night behind A night of dark and woe
But when it’s gone we wont be blind The morning shows us which way to go
Cause we’re looking out at the front of the road Please don’t look behind
There’s no need to search in the past my love
Cause you don’t know what you might find
No you don’t know what you might find
what you might find
Lady won’t you sing for me a melody so clear
Intonation modulation tone for all to hear
Sing about our history The lessons never learned
The lies we spread, the lives we ended,
The forests we still burn

Gödels Rap

Got something to say , now the bridge is in play
don't wanna do it this way but hey
let's face it,
Rap is crap ,
it’s a crock,
nothing like rock’n’roll it just takes its toll on our heads and in our ears
it’s not at all what it appears
there's nothing clever reciting a string of obscenities
misogyny dichotomies
as if extemporization is going to save the nation
come on lets move away from this tuneless tripe
and ignore its hype let's get back to what’s right
that’s rock’n’blues with tunefulness, emotion and beat ,
those talent-less rappers they can't take this heat
get out of our kitchen
rock’n’blues is cooking
it’s so hot it’s smoking
and we ain't joking

Can't Understand It

I can’t understand it , you say you’re a man
You’re working sixteen hours a day
You dress up right go out at night
try to get the little ladies to Play
But then you go out clubbin
when you think you got your luck
You go and dance the night away
Well I can’t understand why you’re playing that rock’n’roll
Well what’s it done for you has it kept you alright ?
Does it listen to your troubles each day?
Has it led you to glory has it shown you the light?
Can you really say it’s shown you the way?
But then you go out clubbin when you think you got your luck
When you’re feeling alone is it someone to talk to?To tell when you’re rocking the roll
When you’re far from your home is it something to learn through
Is it true is it whole ? Can it really save your soul?
But then you go out clubbin when you think you got your luck In You go and dance the
night away
Well I can’t understand why you’re playing that rock’n’roll
I can’t understand it , you say you’re a man
Still gonna dance the night away
Well I can’t understand why you’re playing that rock’n’roll

Long Time Coming

It;s been a long long time coming
And you’re a long time dead
So if you gotta something to do, somewhere to be, If you got something to say best get it out of your head, (
out of your head before you’re dead would be wise)
People call it the blues well maybe it’s just life
Seems the more plans you make the more trouble and strife
Now I’ve been here and there and I’ve been around a while
still got plenty more to live and I still value a smile
It’s been a long ,very long, veritably long time coming
but believe, me when I say you’re a long time dead
Will it all be worth it in the end
All I know to you my soul
I do commend
