Slow Blues Written by Anton Elikington and Billy Williams

lyrics

Oh Lord have you read the morning papers today?
Stocks are down, and we're at war again.
I've been drinking coffee from dusk through to dawn.
I'm broke, wired but I'm well informed.

Lord all my friends have run for the hills.
My enemies are moving in for the kill.
After years of disbelief, Lord you're my only friend,
I'm cold and I'm hungry, but I'm not sure if you're there.

Oh Lord can you hear a word I say?
Skies are cloudy and it's cold and it's grey.
Above all that anger, for I know there's a sky of blue
Cause I know there's hope, If I just believe in you.

Lord have you read the papers today?
Stocks are down and we're at war again.
I've been drinkin' drinkin' drinkin whiskey
from dusk through to dawn,
I'm broke, wired but I'm well informed.
Oh Lord.
