about

archeologists have discovered that Job was the first blues singer

lyrics

Nothing's happening, everything just stays the same
Nothing's happening, everything just stays the same
But something should be happening to knock heart breakers off their game

I look around and see, some smiley rich folk leave a trail of misery
I look around and see, some smiley rich folk leave a trail of misery
And that pain don't leave a scratch on their Porsches and Cadillics

Old Job felt like this, sitting on his heap of ash
old Job felt like this, sitting on his heap of ash
And his friends made it worse cause they would not stop talking trash

But Job knew that something was going down, something he just could not see
Job knew that something was going down, something he just could not see And soon his friends got the blues, and old Job he was free
and he got off that landfill, and he saw stuff that blew his mind and it showed him that something great is always happening!
