            Song Lyrics 
            
 
 
 
 
 I saw some people starving 
There was murder, there was rape 
Their villages were burning 
They were trying to escape 
I couldn't meet their glances 
I was staring at my shoes 
It was acid, it was tragic 
It was almost like the blues. 
I have to die a little 
Between each murderous thought 
And when I'm finished thinking 
I have to die a lot 
There's torture and there's killing 
And there's all my bad reviews 
The war, the children missing 
Lord, it's almost like the blues. 
So I let my heart get frozen 
To keep away the rot 
My father said I'm chosen 
My mother said I'm not 
I listened to their story 
Of the gypsies and the jews 
It was good, it wasn't boring 
It was almost like the blues. 
There is no g-d in heaven 
And there is no hell below 
So says the great professor 
Of all there is to know 
But I've had the invitation 
That a sinner can't refuse 
And it's almost like salvation 
It's almost like the blues.
