Can't get no sleeves for my records,
can't get no laces for my shoes.
Can't get no fancy notes on my blue guitar,
can't get no antidote for blues.
Can't find the reason for your actions
or I don't much like the reasoning you use.
Somehow your motives are impure
or somehow I can't find the cure.
Can't get no antidote for blues.
They say it's mostly vanity
that writes the plays we act.
They tell me, that's what everybody knows;
there's no such thing as sanity
and that's the sanest fact.
That's the way the story goes.
Can't get no remedy on my TV,
it's nothing but the same old news.
But they can't find a way to be
One World in harmony,
can't get no antidote for blues.
