\"almostblues\"<\/a><\/p>\n

ALMOST LIKE THE BLUES<\/p>\n

I saw some people starving
\nThere was murder, there was rape
\nTheir villages were burning
\nThey were trying to escape
\nI couldn’t meet their glances
\nI was staring at my shoes
\nIt was acid, it was tragic
\nIt was almost like the blues<\/p>\n

I have to die a little
\nBetween each murderous thought
\nAnd when I’m finished thinking
\nI have to die a lot
\nThere’s torture and there’s killing
\nAnd there’s all my bad reviews
\nThe war, the children missing
\nLord, it’s almost like the blues<\/p>\n

So I let my heart get frozen
\nTo keep away the rot
\nMy father said I’m chosen
\nMy mother said I’m not
\nI listened to their story
\nOf the Gypsies and the Jews
\nIt was good, it wasn’t boring
\nIt was almost like the blues<\/p>\n

There is no G-d in Heaven
\nAnd there is no Hell below
\nSo says the great professor
\nOf all there is to know
\nBut I’ve had the invitation
\nThat a sinner can’t refuse
\nAnd it’s almost like salvation
\nIt’s almost like the blues<\/p>\n
