The Story Of The Blues Part Two (Talkin’ Blues) Lyrics by The Wah!

0

...well, that's my story and i'm sticking to that. So let's have another drink and let's talk about the blues
Blues is about dignity. It's about self-respect. And no matter what they take away from you - that's yours for keeps. I remember how it was, how every medium - T.V. and papers and radio and all those people were saying: "you're on the scrap-heap, you're useless", and I remember how easy it was to start believing that. I remember how you'd hear people take it for granted that it was true - just 'cause someone with an ounce of power said so
And that's a problem now, too many oddballs, too many pocketbook psychologists and would-be philosophers with an axe to grind. But there's a solution, it's not easy, but it's a matter of coming to terms in your heart with situation you're in, a matter of choosing how things go for you and not having things forced upon you
There are plenty of forces against you, forcing you against your will, your ideals - you've got to hope for the best, and that's the best you can hope for - you've got to hope against hope...
I remember something Sal Paradise said, he said: "The city intellectuals of the world are debauched from the full body blood-of-the-land and are just rootless fools."
So listen, when the smile, the condescending pat-on-the-back comes and says: 'we're sorry, but you're nothing, you've got nothing for us and we've got nothing for you', you say: 'No', and say it loud: "NO!"
And remember, people who talk about revolution and a class-struggle without referring explicitly to everyday life, without understanding what is subversive about love, and what is positive in the refusal and constraint...such people have a corpse in their mouth...
