Be prepared to share the band's new jam!!

It's called the blues.

Even around here it's called the blues.

Significance: There's sadness everywhere, even in the most seemingly perfect settings.

It's called the blues.

Even around here it's called the blues.

When you have nothing to lose

and everyone is confused

it's called the blues

Creed is dead

shot right in the head

we thought he was crazy

maybe he's in the shed.

Creed ran away

can't find him today

he had no privacy

Now, we all have to pay.

It's called the blues.

Even around here it's called the blues.

When there's nothing to lose.

You just slip on your shoes

It's called the blues.
