All Blues
New A Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Some people have to tell it like it is
Whenever given the chance, they will argue their case
In their world, what they believe is true
They were born to this world to tell it to you

Left wing, right wing, the Arabs and the Jews
Set beliefs, ideological tattoos
Easy answers all over the news
I've got the Know-It-All Blues

Don't hesitate, you're either right or wrong
Just do whatever it takes, you need be headstrong
When in doubt, you'd better take a stand
Just remember it's all 'bout making demands

Left wing, right wing, the Arabs and the Jews
Set beliefs, ideological tattoos
Easy answers all over the news
I've got the Know-It-All Blues

I can't stand the intellectual excuse
When every argument is meant to confuse
If we give in to populism, we loose
If we give in to populism, we loose

Left wing, right wing, the Arabs and the Jews
Set beliefs, ideological tattoos




Easy answers all over the news
I've got the Know-It-All Blues

The song also critiques the simplification of complex issues in today's news landscape, where "easy answers" are readily available. New A highlights the frustration of encountering intellectual excuses and arguments meant to confuse rather than clarify.

0:13 Trombone ostinato starts
0:51 Trombones come back in with the ostinato
1:13 Legato version of the ostinato
1:18 Trombone switches back to the normal ostinato
1:25 B flat b nat B flat c shenanagins
1:40 trombone is back on the ostinato
1:51 Trombone doing legato swung scales things
2:51 Ensemble Chorus
3:29 Trombone ostinato
3:34 D.S. al coda
and then it repeats, so no need for more timestamps except the coda
