[Lyric] Blues For The Disillusioned (Rick Springfield)

[verse 1]
Blues for the Disillusioned, there will be no atonement
Me in my confusion, and in a careless moment
I fell in love with everything, that caused me so much pain
Send a message to my father, signed it with a mark of Cain
I waited for an answer, aike I'd seen all of you do
I teetered like a dancer, trembled like an ingenue
I never got a message, I never got a call
I crawled out of the wreckage, nobody there to catch my fall

[verse 2]
I know that it was written, your prayers would all be heard
John 16: 24, It says it word for word
Ask and you shall receive, your joy will be complete
They set you up for victory, then they had you your defeat
Come on down to my place, I got Playstation 99
Nixon hangs with Elvis, sleeping Beauty sleeps with Frankenstein
Saint Joan of Arc and Lenny have become the best of friends
Bin Laden wears a sign that says "True love never ends"

[verse 3]
Blues for the Disillusioned, I know how you all breathe
I was there at the beginning, with Adam and with Eve
And God's manipulation was partisan at best
Although it was a worst result, you think that you're all blessed
You've been living under false decrees, I guess you get that now
There's really no such thing as, all that heaven will allow
I wanna be your angel, I wanna be your king
If you wanna be my girl, you gotta sacrifice everything
[verse 4]
You keep on drilling, you can't cut through his firewall
Your spirit is willing,Savor all your drugs and alcohol
Blues for the blighted, welcome to the Wallflower Social Club
Everyone's invited, Sai Baba's here with Beezlebub
I know you thought that life was fair, and you believed the creed
God doesn't give you what you want, only what you need
I think that's pretty dubious, to say the very least
So I tell him that the 13 million kids there in the middle east
All my father's promises, were made when he was high
You're kicked out of the nest and now it's time for you to fly

[Chorus]
Blues for the disillusioned, Blues for the disillusioned
Blues for the disillusioned, Blues for the disillusioned
Blues for the disillusioned, Blues for the disillusioned
