Lyrics

If you DON'T know what its like... to never get justice...
If you DON'T know what its like... to live bad news ...
If you DON'T know what its like... to be 3/5ths of a MAN,
Then you AIN'T ever had-these-blues !

If you DON'T know what its like... to be UPROOTED...
If you DON'T know what its like... to EVER get to choose ...
If you DON'T know what its like... to be beat like a railroad spike...
Then you AIN'T ever had-these-blues !

chorus

You weren't born to lose ... you always got to choose ...
That 's why you ain't ever had-these-blues !

If you DON'T know what its like... to be afraid of sirens...
If you DON'T know what its like... to be afraid of the news ...
If you've NEVER lost your life... for carrying a goddamn knife...
Then you AIN'T ever had-these-blues !

chorus
