Story behind the song
Current events motivated me to write this song.
Lyrics
Sunrise in Cairo, the room was a mess. I went to a party last night at the wrong address. My head was aching from the teargas they used. A man with no country and nothing to lose. I want to know. Can you tell me? I want to know. Do you get the blues? The gunfire this morning. The tank in the street. The police came knocking. There was blood at their feet. On the hunt for Bin Laden. Qandahar to Baghdad. How many lies will Bush tell us to wage war in Iraq? I want to know. Can you tell me? I want to know. Do you get the blues? The people were singing. Dancing in the street. The children were laughing. How they love to live in peace. Suicide bomber. Gaza shantytown. Will the Israeli armor put Palestine people down? I want to know. Can you tell me? I want to know. Do you get the blues?
