作词 : Sexsmith | |
Leadbelly's in the background | |
Being drowned out by the grind | |
He's singing 'bout "Rock Island Line" | |
Nobody seems to pay him any mind | |
Bestsellers and bookshelves | |
Full of self-help printed word | |
Some faint elegance is heard | |
Now was that Ellington or Bird? | |
And has it really come to this? | |
Can ignorance be bliss? | |
I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop | |
Jazz at the bookstore | |
And Blues in the coffee shop | |
Jazz at the bookstore | |
And Blues in the coffee shop | |
There's a man standing at the crossroads | |
With a dark roast in his hand | |
He's Livin' in white yuppy land | |
Over by the milk and sugar stand | |
And have I really come for this | |
A cup of caffeinated bliss? | |
So we browse around | |
All over town | |
Sipping coffees that we can't pronounce | |
And meanwhile in the Blues Cemetery | |
All the coffins commence to bounce...bounce | |
Leadbelly's in the cold ground | |
Rolling over in his grave | |
The hard road where so many slaved | |
Is now so smooth and paved | |
And has it really come to this | |
Can ignorance be bliss? | |
I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop | |
Jazz at the bookstore | |
And Blues in the coffee shop | |
Jazz at the bookstore | |
And Blues in the coffee shop | |
Jazz at the bookstore | |
And Blues in the coffee shop |
