Woke Up This Morning

I'm gonna take you down
Deep down to the front lines

You woke up this morning
Got yourself a gun
Mama always said you'd be
The Chosen One

She said: You're one in a million
You've got to burn to shine
But you were born under a bad sign
With a blue Moon in your eyes

You woke up this morning
All that love had gone
Your Papa never told you
About right and wrong

But you're looking good, baby
I believe you're feeling fine, (shame about it)
Born under a bad sign
With a blue Moon in your eyes
Chorus
You woke up this morning
Got a blue Moon in your eyes
You woke up this morning
Got a blue Moon in your eyes

You woke up this morning
The world turned upside down
Thing's ain't been the same
Since the Blues walked into town
But you're one in a million
You've got that shotgun shine. (shame about it)
Born under a bad sign
With a blue Moon in your eyes
You woke up this morning
Got a blue Moon in your eyes
You woke up this morning
Got a blue Moon in your eyes

When you woke up this morning everything you had was gone. By half past ten your head was going ding-dong
Ringing like a bell from your head down to your toes
Like a voice telling you there was something you should
Know. Last night you were flying but today you're so low
- Ain't it times like these that make you wonder if
You'll ever know the meaning of things as they appear to
The others; wives, mothers, fathers, sisters and
Brothers. Don't you wish you didn't function, don't you wish you
Didn't think beyond the next paycheck and the next little
Drink? Well you do so make up your mind to go on, ? Cos
When you woke up this morning everything you had was gone

Woke up this morning
Woke up this morning
Woke up this morning
You wanna be the Chosen One

Woke up this morning
Woke up this morning
Woke up this morning
You got yourself a gun
