Blue World Songtext

von Paul Brady

There you go again, pretending that the world is blue.
And you see red when I explain, that I don't share your point of view.
Well I say open up your eyes, for the world is like a rainbow.
And maybe blue is just the colour of the world inside of you.

-bridge-
But that kind of blue world, that's not my world
I don't want to paint your pictures,
I ain't here to sing your sorrows.
Ain't got time to be a hero,
I don't want to be your poet.

-chorus-
Everybody feel the same pain, everybody doing time.
I can't be the one you're needing,
I can just be who I am, who I am.

We all want a world with a perfect constitution.
Believe me, we all want it now, don't want to wait another day.
And maybe if this world's to change, it's going to take a revolution.
But in the meantime, be my friend, and don't turn your head away

-bridge-
For your kind of blue world, that's not my world.
I don't want to paint your pictures.
(I don't want to write your dreams.)
I ain't here to sing your sorrows.
(Your blue world is not my scene.)
Ain't got time to be a hero.
(You can tell me, that's a crime.)
I don't want to be your poet.
(Crying out your ancient rhyme.)

-chorus-
Everybody feel the same pain, everybody doing time.
I can't be the one you're needing,
I can just be who I am, who I am.
