Lyrics
<p class="Standard" align="center"><strong>I FEEL BETTER WHEN I'M SINGING THE BLUES</strong></p>
<p class="Standard" align="center"><strong> </strong></p>
<p class="Standard"><strong>VERSE ONE</strong></p>
<p class="Standard"><strong> </strong></p>
<p class="Standard"><strong>I can't stand my job</strong></p>
<p class="Standard"><strong>I get paid next to nothing</strong></p>
<p class="Standard"><strong>To disinfect and mop</strong></p>
<p class="Standard"><strong>Another person's slop</strong></p>
<p class="Standard"><strong> </strong></p>
<p class="Standard"><strong>My wife says I'm lazy</strong></p>
<p class="Standard"><strong>While she smokes and drinks my pay</strong></p>
<p class="Standard"><strong>I think I'm going crazy</strong></p>
<p class="Standard"><strong>Everything's a little hazy</strong></p>
<p class="Standard"><strong> </strong></p>
<p class="Standard"><strong>My car doesn't run</strong></p>
<p class="Standard"><strong>My dog bites for fun</strong></p>
<p class="Standard"><strong>The rain hides the sun</strong></p>
<p class="Standard"><strong>and my roof leaks a ton</strong></p>
<p class="Standard"><strong> </strong></p>
<p class="Standard"><strong>CHORUS</strong></p>
<p class="Standard"><strong> </strong></p>
<p class="Standard"><strong>Because I was acting just a little bit down</strong></p>
<p class="Standard"><strong>They sent me to a doctor he said it's just a meltdown</strong></p>
<p class="Standard"><strong>He gave me pills supposed to help make me calm down</strong></p>
<p class="Standard"><strong> </strong></p>
<p class="Standard"><strong>But I feel better when I'm singing the blues</strong></p>
<p class="Standard"><strong>Yes I feel better when I'm singing the blues</strong></p>
<p class="Standard"><strong>Much better when I'm singing the blues</strong></p>
<p class="Standard"><strong>All better when I'm singing the blues</strong></p>
<p class="Standard"><strong> </strong></p>
<p class="Standard"><strong>VERSE TWO</strong></p>
<p class="Standard"><strong> </strong></p>
<p class="Standard"><strong>My Dad felt the same</strong></p>
<p class="Standard"><strong>My brother feels the same</strong></p>
<p class="Standard"><strong>I guess my kid will be the same</strong></p>
<p class="Standard"><strong>There's no one I can blame</strong></p>
<p class="Standard"><strong> </strong></p>
<p class="Standard"><strong>Cause that's the way the world is made</strong></p>
<p class="Standard"><strong>Again, again replayed</strong></p>
<p class="Standard"><strong>In a hole without a spade</strong></p>
<p class="Standard"><strong>You know and you're afraid</strong></p>
<p class="Standard"><strong> </strong></p>
<p class="Standard"><strong>That no matter what you do</strong></p>
<p class="Standard"><strong>It'll be the same for you</strong></p>
<p class="Standard"><strong>Always kind of blue</strong></p>
<p class="Standard"><strong>Like a bird that never flew</strong></p>
<p class="Standard"><strong> </strong></p>
<p class="Standard"><strong> </strong></p>
<p class="Standard"><strong>GUITAR LEAD</strong></p>
<p class="Standard"><strong> </strong></p>
<p class="Standard"><strong>CHORUS</strong></p>
<p class="Standard"><strong> </strong></p>
<p class="Standard"><strong>THIRD VERSE</strong></p>
<p class="Standard"><strong> </strong></p>
<p class="Standard"><strong>There's really no excuse</strong></p>
<p class="Standard"><strong>For feeling kind of blue</strong></p>
<p class="Standard"><strong>We wear the same old shoes</strong></p>
<p><strong>As the world sings the blues (REPEAT-2X) (REPEAT LAST 4 LINES OF </strong></p>
