[Bruce Cockburn - The Blues Got the World... lyrics]

I've been down to Parliament
I've been in school
I've been in jail to learn the golden rule
I've been to the workhouse
Served my time in those hallowed halls
The only thing I know is the blues
Got the world by the balls

I've been to the tundra and the mountain too
I've been in Paris doing
What the Frenchmen do
I've been in Boston where the
Buildings grow so tall
Everywhere you go the blues got
The world by the balls

You can catch 'em from the preacher
Or from the pool shark
You can find 'em in the
Grammar of the socialite's remark
Or down in the washroom you can

Read it on the wall
Everywhere you look the blues got
The world by the balls
I said everywhere you look the blues
Got the world by the balls
