Everybody Understands the Blues Lyrics

Uptown, downtown, all around
You can see it in their faces
Down to the holes in their shoes
Everybody understands the blues
Black an' white
Brown an' yellow
Red man too
Regardless of their wallet
Sometimes they win sometimes they losses
Only one thing for certain
Everybody understands the blues

Death an taxes
Political scams
Bill collectors who'll snag you if they can
A leak in the ceiling
Rush hour jams
I'll say it again no matter where I go or when
You can see it in their faces
Down to the holes in their shoes
There ain't no doubt about it
Everybody understands the blues
Yeah there are solutions
But very few of them will last
So many runnin' hopeless
Too man runnin outa gas

Be a prophet or a king
A sinner or a saint
A lawyer or a liar
A believer in fate
Somebody understands exactly what you're goin' through
Hey, everybody understands the blues
