True Blue Troubadour
Words & music by Thomas Itty (ASCAP)
I watched the news
There was nothing good on it
Emaciated children
With swollen heads like E.T.
Parents were crying
Their child is in a coma
Then they cut away
To an ad for Coca Cola
Can’t take it no more
Gonna close the door
Can’t take it no more
I’m fed-up to the core
Can’t take it no more
Don’t wanna know the score
Can’t take it no more
I’m just a true blue troubadour
I write about people
And I write about love
I write about the weather
Sometimes while wearing a glove
But I wrote nothing
When they went and made him a king
Now he’s a tyrant
And I’m screaming within
Can’t take it no more
Gonna close the door
Can’t take it no more
I’m fed-up to the core
Can’t take it no more
Don’t wanna know the score
Can’t take it no more
I’m just a true blue troubadour
When I was younger
I really believed
They’d get rid of countries
And wars everywhere would cease
When the Berlin Wall fell
It all seemed so clear
But now they want
To build an even bigger wall here
Can’t take it no more
Gonna close the door
Can’t take it no more
I’m fed-up to the core
Can’t take it no more
Don’t wanna know the score
Can’t take it no more
I’m just a true blue troubadour
Repeat…
