[Chorus]
Call it the Headline blues,
But I can’t refuse,
These blue creatures keep harassing me.
I read the daily news,
Lord I’m so confused,
Trying to understand what it means.

[Verse]
I need a new hustle, to get by
One where I can find my stride
I need a new boss, and a job
One where I can feel pride
I need to stock-up, for a rainy day
Cause the skies are cloudy all the time.

[Chorus]
Might be the Monday blues,
But I can’t refuse,
These blue creatures keep harassing me.
I keep paying dues
But can’t seem to move
Before I’m replaced by machinery

[Verse]
I need another bin, for the waste
That keeps piling up each day
Reduce and reuse, seem like the key
But that doesn’t help the GDP
I’m trying desperately, but I’m losing ground
With each package from delivery

[Chorus]
Feels like the Climate Blues,
But I can’t refuse,
These blue creatures keep harassing me.
Icebergs start to ooze,
and I feel a fool,
for using plastic cutlery

[Bridge]
I’m gonna take a nap
Wake me when we’re back,
To something that don’t feel so surreal

Perhaps it’s just the way,
but it sure feels strange
With more issues than I’m built to deal.

Feeds all filled with rage
Hoping I’ll engage
…and like and idiot I swipe for more

Getting a little hate
tossed in your every day
Sure makes you hungry for the taste of war

[Chorus]
Call it be the Conflict Blues,
But I can’t refuse,
These blue creatures keep harassing me.
Someone lit the fuse,
No matter win or lose,
All the profits in artillery.

[Chorus]
Might be the Headline blues,
But I can’t refuse,
These blue creatures are harassing me.
I read the daily news,
Lord I’m so confused,
Trying to understand what it all means.
