I've got the modern blues for yer honey I've got the modern blues.

I've got the modern blues for yer honey I've got the modern blues I've got the mind to find where you're coming I got the evening news
Somebody spare me this twisted philosophy I'm searching for meaning in a world of mediocrity Can't move for preachers, but I can't find no teachers Think I'm gonna stay here in bed
