[00:35.280] I saw some people starving
[00:38.190] There was murder, there was rape
[00:41.130] Their villages were burning
[00:43.970] They were trying to escape
[00:46.910] I couldn’t meet their glances
[00:49.610] I was staring at my shoes
[00:52.290] It was acid, it was tragic
[00:55.580] It was almost like the blues
[01:02.700] It was almost like the blues
[01:10.350] I have to die a little
[01:13.190] Between each murderous thought
[01:16.020] And when I’m finished thinking
[01:19.010] I have to die a lot
[01:21.890] There’s torture and there’s killing
[01:24.430] And there’s all my bad reviews
[01:27.580] The war, the children missing
[01:30.070] Lord, it’s almost like the blues
[01:38.290] It was almost like the blues
[01:45.270] So I let my heart get frozen
[01:48.600] To keep away the rot
[01:51.450] My father said I’m chosen
[01:54.340] My mother said I’m not
[01:57.480] I listened to their story
[02:00.070] Of the Gypsies and the Jews
[02:02.810] It was good, it wasn’t boring
[02:06.000] It was almost like the blues
[02:12.900] It was almost like the blues
[02:20.580] There is no G-d in Heaven
[02:23.570] And there is no Hell below
[02:26.410] So says the great professor
[02:29.160] Of all there is to know
[02:32.100] But I’ve had the invitation
[02:35.040] That a sinner can’t refuse
[02:37.930] And it’s almost like salvation
[02:41.130] It’s almost like the blues
[02:48.240] It was almost like the blues
[03:00.450] Almost like the blues
[00:35.280] I saw some people starving
[00:38.190] There was murder, there was rape
[00:41.130] Their villages were burning
[00:43.970] They were trying to escape
[00:46.910] I couldn' t meet their glances
