Lyrics
Baby Blue (What Have They Benn Telling You)
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Always seems to be the same round here
Town full of losers all crying in their beer
Nobody's willing to take any chance
Drown you brain in the rave machine and dance, boy dance
You got one last shot here to change your world
yeah, one last push just might make it work
But you sit on you arse watch you life drift by
Lookin' at you, tell me, should I laugh or cry
Why can't you realize it's all gone wrong
why can't you see who's laughing now
(Chorus:)
Baby blue, baby blue, what have they been telling you?
Baby blue, baby blue, what have they been telling you?
Everyday you toe the same tired line
Slave to your past you just serve your time
Stand and watch as it falls apart
They've taken your mind, your will and your heart
You got one last shot here to change your world
yeah, just get out and make it work
But you're much too scared to take the risk
In case they put your name on their endangered list
Why can't you see that it has all been lies?
Why can't you hear them laughing now?
(Chorus)
I'm not the sort of man to just leave well alone
I feel we're all owed so much more
Now they're telling us the world's gone wrong
In fact it's been like that all along
Not just the ozone but the black coal seam
We're left with the sour milk cos there's no more cream
This is our last shot to save the world
Yeah, our last effort might just make it work
But they're much too scared to commit their wealth
It's time to force some international health
When will they realize it's not too late?
I guess they never will somehow
(Chorus)
It's not all over now baby blue
It's not all over now baby blue
