Jackie Greene - Downhearted lyrics

Listen people what I say I hate to come to you this way But there's something going on in the world today And I don't know what I can say, I'm downhearted Downhearted Now I don't think there can be one blame You can't point the finger or speak a name There's too much at stake, there's too much to lose And it's getting to the end of a burning fuse I'm downhearted So tell me am I out of line? Am I wrong, or am I blind? Is there any meaningful thing to say? The blades of war are glistening, But there's nobody listening To the sound of the voices, hear them make their noise The machine is too strong, gonna be destroyed I'm downhearted This place is crazy, it weighs too much I'm lost inside the grid, I'm out of touch Tell me, is there anything that I can do? Blue policeman with a silver gun Shot a red-defender and his only son Ask somebody and they might say: "Be straight laced, white faced and look the other way" I'm downhearted
