Poster Child for the Blues
from
Never Let Me Down
Well
I ain't pretty
Never could dance
My papa was the victim of circumstance
My teachers did not give me
a second chance
I'm a poster child for the blues.
Well my mama she tried but not
so hard
She held me but never in high regard
I was left in the box like a joker card
I'm a poster child for the blues.
Well I went to the doctor I spoke
with the nurse
They told me I was suffering from
a stubborn curse
It was only expected to get
that much worse
I'm a poster child for the blues.
Well I'm the butt of the joke
Left holding the bag
You get the new suit, I get the rag
Well my lettuce is wilted and my
bread's too hard
Others take the butter
I get the lard.
I
take a message from the IRS
Well my taxes they surely must
be less
They answer with a penalty,
and more to assess
I'm a poster child for the blues.
Well I tried to pray
I spoke with the Lord
I noticed he was getting
mighty bored
He did not even bother to give
me the word
I'm a poster child for the blues.
(You know where I'm
going next)
I went to the crossroads,
nothing to lose
The devil appeared,
but he looked confused
He turned on his heel
and he returned my dues
I'm a poster child for the-
poster child for the-
I'm a poster child for the blues. |
