Feeling Blue Songtext

von Eric Burdon

Let′s say you're livin in the inner city
You′re angry young and male
They say you got a pretty good chance
My brother of winding up in jail
Incarcreation understand ia a lucrative industry
Whole towns are living on it
The 21st century slavery
Somewhere is there a solution
If there is we've got to find it
And get our heads and hearts behind it
But right now I don't know what to do
That′s why I′m feeling blue

You see a lot of guys so frustrated
They just want to kick somebody's ass
It′s not just a racial thing these days oh yeah
Privilege and class
Education's a factor you can′t afford to ignore
It's still the best way my brother
To even up the score

(Eric Bibb / F. Boström)
