about

Is there a place for an obviously happy song in the blues? The eternal question. It isn't that there isn't joy in the blues but there is struggle and oppression and problems. Today we have FOMO, instajealousy and keeping up with the Zuckerbooks. This is our philosophical inspection on the issues of our times.

lyrics

Everybody’s smiling
Like they’re in ecstasy
I just don’t feel welcome
The blues won’t let me be
Everybody’s happy except me

Don’t want to sound ungrateful
Your love is oh so sweet
I have this nasty habit
The booze has got me beat
Everybody’s happy except me

I’m drinking less each morning
And making cups of tea
But I just feel like dying
And having to go pee
Everybody’s happy except me

I’m going to the ocean
To drown under the sea
I’m really sorry baby
The blues won’t let me be
Everybody’s happy except me
Everybody’s happy except me
Everybody’s happy except me
