Johnny Winter - World of Contradictions lyrics

I make my living feeling rotten
But I feel good when I play blues
I make my living feeling rotten
But I feel good when I play blues
In this world of contradictions
Man what can a poor boy do?

Some folks say you can't sing blues
When you're feeling good
I'm just feeling lousy, I knock on wood
I make my living feeling rotten
But I feel good when I play blues

In this world of contradictions
Man what can a poor boy do?
I guess the worst things get
The better they must be

This mixed up way of thinking man
Is killing me
I make my living feeling rotten but I feel
Good when I play blues yes I do
In this world of contradictions what
Can a poor boy do yeah, what can I do, oh

Yeah, woo
Well if I feel a little bit better
I'll probably go broke
It' enough to give a man the blues
And man that ain't no joke
I make my living feeling rotten I
Feel good when I play blues
Well in this world of contradictions
What can a poor boy do
