Almost Like the Blues

I saw some people starving
 There was murder, there was rape
 Their villages were burning
 They were trying to escape
 I couldn't meet their glances
 I was staring at my shoes
 It was acid, it was tragic
 It was almost like the blues
 ♪
 It was almost like the blues
 ♪
 I have to die a little
 between each murderous plot
 and when I'm finished thinking
 I have to die a lot
 There's torture, and there's killing
 and there's all my bad reviews
 The war, the children missing, lord
 It's almost like the blues
 ♪
 It's almost like the blues
 ♪
 Though I let my heart get frozen
 to keep away the rot
 my father says I'm chosen
 my mother says I'm not
 I listened to their story
 of the gypsies and the Jews
 It was good, it wasn't boring
 It was almost like the blues
 ♪
 It was almost like the blues
 ♪
 There is no God in heaven
 There is no hell below
 So says the great professor
 of all there is to know
 But I've had the invitation
 that a sinner can't refuse
 It's almost like salvation
 It's almost like the blues
 ♪
 It's almost like the blues
 Almost like the blues
 Almost like the blues
 Almost like the blues
