Johnny Twobags doesn't have the blues

and it makes him sad Brings him down

But not down enough to have the blues



He's too white to have the blues

He thinks he should be black to have the blues

He's too green to sing the blues

and Orange County ain't a breeding ground for blues



Oh Johnny do shut up, I know you think you got it rough

You say your life is hard

Well you didn't spend your days stealin' chickens from the rich folks yard



Don't play me for a fool.

Your dad wasn't traded for a mule.

Do you know what I mean

Even if your band gets dropped from Dr. Dream



You ain't black and you ain't blind

You're girlfriend's not the cheating kind

Well you're cleaned up and you're off the booze

Maybe you weren't meant to sing the blues



Ken is stuck in a wheel chair

His spine is bent beyond repair

He's not singin' the blues

and you never even wore orthopaedic shoes



So at school you might have failed

But there's men being raped in jail

They should be singing the blue

and I'm starting to think that you haven't paid your dues



You ain't black and you ain't blind

You're girlfriend's not the cheating kind

Well you're cleaned up and you're off the booze

Maybe you weren't meant to sing the blues



He's too white to have the blues

He thinks he should be black to have the blues

He's too green to sing the blues

and Orange County ain't a breeding ground for blues



It's ok, so don't be sad

that your not sad

cause your still rad

to me



Johnny Twobags doesn't have the blues

and it makes him sad Brings him down

But not down enough to have the blues



He's too white to have the blues

He thinks he should be black to have the blues

He's too green to sing the blues

and Orange County ain't a breeding ground for blues



You ain't black and you ain't blind

You're girlfriend's not the cheating kind

Well you're cleaned up and you're off the booze

Maybe you weren't meant to sing the blues



It's ok, so don't be sad

that your sad

cause your still rad

to me



You don't have to pay no dues or be born to lose

Alot of people would kill to be in your shoes

Maybe you weren't meant to sing the blues
