Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers Joy and Blues lyrics

Joy and blues, joy and blues
Joy and blues, joy and blues

Here we are in this ocean
Between life and death, and truth and lie
Between rich and poor, and sick and cure
Between joy and blues

Here we are in this ocean
Between light a day and dark a night
Between nature and destruction
Between joy and blues

Choose well and make sure you don't lose
Do what you gotta do
'Cause if our money you put down
It's only money you could lose

Choose well and make sure you don't lose
Pick your choice, choose well
'Cause when your life is on the line
It's only life you can lose

Alright, we have the potion to clear all evil notion
Putting these words in motion
I refuse to give joy to blues
Tell me why should we live between joy and blues?

Hey, choose well and make sure you don't lose
Do what you gotta do
'Cause if our money you put down
It's only money you can lose

Don't you know? Choose well and make sure you don't lose
Pick your choice choose well
'Cause when your life is on the line
Hey, it's only life if you can lose

Joy and blues, joy and blues
Joy and blues

Here we are in this big blue sea

Between faith and trust and hypocrisy
Between wants and needs
Between joy and blues

Here we are in this ocean
Between fantasy and destiny
Between quality and quantity
Between joy and blues

Between joy and blues
Between joy and blues
Oh, between joy and blues
Between joy and blues

Between joy and joy and blues
Joy and blues, joy and blues
Between joy and blues
Between joy

Choose well make and sure you don't lose
Do what you gotta do
'Cause if our money you put down
It's only money you can lose

Yeah, just choose well and make sure you don't lose
Pick your choice, choose well
'Cause when your life is on the line
Your life is on the line, your life is on the line
Only life you can lose

Choose well, choose well
Choose well make sure you don't lose
Choose well, choose well
Choose well make sure you don't lose

Make sure you don't lose
Make sure you don't lose
Only life you can lose
So, make sure you don't lose
