Paul Brady - Blue World lyrics

There you go again
Pretending that the world is blue
And you see red when I explain
That I don't share your point of view
Well I say open up your eyes
For the world is like a rainbow
And maybe blue is just the colour
Of the world inside of you

But that kind of blue world
That's not my world
I don't want to paint your pictures
I ain't here to sing your sorrows
Ain't got time to be a hero
I don't want to be your poet

Everybody feel the same pain
Everybody doing time
I can't be the one you're needing
I can just be who I am, who I am

We all want a world
With a perfect constitution
Believe me, we all want it now
Don't want to wait another day
And maybe if this world's to change
It's going to take a revolution
But in the meantime, be my friend
And don't turn your head away

For your kind of blue world
That's not my world
I don't want to paint your pictures
(I don't want to write your dreams)
I ain't here to sing your sorrows
(Your blue world is not my scene)
Ain't got time to be a hero
(You can tell me, that's a crime)
I don't want to be your poet
(Crying out your ancient rhyme)

Everybody feel the same pain
Everybody doing time
I can't be the one you're needing
I can just be who I am, who I am
