Jukebox of Bad News

I came out a lady On that bitter night When the music started to sway just right And people were dancing To the jukebox of bad news I was so lonesome And I sang the blues As the hues above were tainted, too Yet people were dancing To the jukebox of bad news But for refuge and for leisure Oh nothing lasts forever Though the sullen make a mighty show I feel the moon shifting Emotion is drifting For those who see the dove but not the crow Darling, it's sickening The things you profit off How you fit emotion in a plastic box For people to gawk at As they slowly back away But for freedom or for nothing You always pay for something And the fee ensures a mighty blow This falsehood they're tending Breeds doom that's impending The haze is thinning and I've gotta go They grab a Penny here A penny there Anything that they can spare Cause the jukebox will be there Another day
