Lyrics
You’re too pretty for the blues, babe,
I hear you people say.
Yeah, you’re too pretty for the blues, child,
Prolly just had a bad day.
You can survive
Keep your people alive
Cause you ain’t so short of bread.
You got both your arms
And your family farms
Ain’t fertilized with the dead,
I’m too/ pretty for the blues, but I condemn.
I’m too/ pretty for the blues, but I got the blues for them.
When pretty boys are talking
You listen to what we say
When pretty boys are walking
The world gets out the way
Yeah, I’m too pretty for the blues, but I condemn
I’m too/ pretty for the blues, but I got the blues for them.
You got your emojis working
I see them every day
You got your emojis working
And that’s how you have your say.
You got your WiFi
Your life ain’t like sci-fi
You save the world from your chair
You lock all your doors
While the storm outside roars
It’s the Apocalypse out there, and I say,
I’m too pretty for the blues, I know it’s true.
I’m too/pretty for the blues, but you sure look pretty, too.
When pretty boys are talking
You listen to what we say
When pretty boys are walking
The world gets out the way
Yeah, I’m too pretty for the blues, but I condemn
I’m too pretty for the blues, but I got the blues for them.
