Disbelief Blues

[Verse 1]
Today I got up in the morning
But the sun was in the west
My woman made my supper
Clad in her Wednesday best
And the landlord, he gave me some money
And the cat barked in reply
And I was raped by this lady
Who later assured me she was very shy
But I didn't really believe it
But then I don't believe much anymore

[Verse 2]
Then I walked out of the window
And had a chat with good Queen Bess
I saw Vanessa Redgrave
And she was rеading The Daily Express
She told mе that president Nixon
He was gonna be the very next pope
But I said, "He can't read Latin"
But she assured me that he could
But I didn't really believe her
But then I don't believe much anymore
Yeah

[Verse 3]
Then this CIA man passed me
Reading the thoughts of chairman Mao
He asked if I'd seen Hitler
So I said, "I'm sorry, no"
Then I asked about all them Kennedys
And mister Martin Luther King
But he looked at me all blankly and said
"I didn't see a thing"
I didn't like that man
He smelled

[Verse 4]
Yeah, then I saw mister Ian Smith
Refused entry to a club
So he went with Enoch Powell
To this handy nearby pub
And they're both two black and tans
And I really had to stare
'Cause the barman, he was Irish
But it didn't turn a hair
But then I didn't really believe it
'Cause I don't believe much anymore
Ooh

[Verse 5]
Then up rode vice president Key
With a marshal's badge on his chest
He said, "Man, I wanna hypnotize ya
To help fight the NLF"
So I said, "Man, you think I'm as daft
As that fellow Uncle Sam?"
So he said, "It's for democracy, that's what made me what I am"
Didn't like him either
Nasty

[Verse 6]
Yeah, then the final straw came later
I saw JC in the street
With Che and Marx and Buddha
All getting on a treat
They said, "Man, we're all combining
To make this world a better place
It's a really marvelous thing
This good old human race"
I didn't even think about that one
But then I gave up on thinking a long time ago

[Outro]
Don't think about anything
Just goin' my own way
Wander 'round the town
Nothing
It's all gone
