lyrics

Time its picking up speed,

I look into the mirror and see a woman staring back at me.

Yes where has the platinum hair girl gone?


Twenty second time around,

Yea I've seen a few ups and a couple of downs.

Well I've flown half way around the world.


Iv seen the darkest side of life,

Hunger and genocide and Iv seen slums and poverty,

I've walked the desert, and I've swam the deep, blue sea.


But I ain't never been to Bluesville where the streets fill,

Every day and night full of rhythm and rhyme.

Where your heart beats in time with your feet.

There is no need for police and no reason to leave, they call it bluesvile.

You don’t pay no bills and the sun shines everyday.

And I don’t want to wait, I never will.

Will never get my fill until I get to Bluesville,

Take me to Bluesville, I want to get to Bluesville.


Were only here in this world for a little while,

Better grow up get a job find a man and bare a child.

Its what where conditioned to do, it’s the media there fooling you.

Yea there making up there truths and telling you what to,

As if you never knew. Making being beautiful a rule.

Cause your tits are too small and hips wont do.

Noo nooo noo nooo nooo.


Iv seen the darkest side of life,

Hunger and genocide and Iv seen slums and poverty,

I've walked the desert, and I've swam the deep, blue sea.


But I ain't never been to Bluesville where the streets fill,

Every day and night full of rhythm and rhyme.

Were your heart beats in time with your feet.

There is no need for police and no reason to leave, they call it bluesvile.

You don’t pay no bills and the sun shines everyday.

And I don’t want to wait, I never will.

Will never get my fill until I get to Bluesville,

Take me to Bluesville, I want to get to Bluesville.
