I Am the Blues

[Chorus]
I am, I am the blues
I am, oh, I am the blues
I know the world know I've been mistreated
And the whole world know I've been misused

[Verse 1]
I am the moan of suffering women
I am the groan of dying men
I am the last one to start
But I'm the first one to begin

[Chorus]
I am, oh, I am the blues
The world know I've been mistreated
The whole world knows I've been misused

[Verse 2]
Oh, I am the picking of people's wounds, who play and die
I am the the last one hired
Or I'm the first one fired

[Chorus]
Oh, I am, oh-oh, I am the blues
Yeah, the world know how I've been mistreated
The whole world know that I've been used

[Bridge]
Well, boys, somebody help me

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
I am many generation
A prodigy of starvation
I am the underdog, friend
Yes, of the united nation

[Chorus]
Oh, I am, oh-oh, I am the blues
Yeah, the world know I've been mistreated
The world knows that I've been misused

[Outro]
I am the blues
Oh, friends, I am the blues
I am, friends, friends, I am the blues
Yeah, the world know I've been mistreated, boys
The whole darn world know that I've been misused
