Blues mutne vode
Djordje Balasevic · Other Songs - Djordje Balasevic
lukava mrena i glupavi smudj
karas i bandar, lopov i zandar
i ribe sto zive na racun tudj
Malene one vecih se klone
ne pazis i vec te nema za tren
gde god da beze stignu u mreze
neko se rodi da postane plen
Ref.
Ja pevam svoj blues bez namere bitne
i najvece ribe za mene su sitne
ja sa strane samo posmatram taj svet
A budem i ja i smuvan i varan
pa svakom se desi da ispadne saran
to je bar rutinska stvar
Ko zivot vodi u mutnoj vodi
mora sve trikove dobro da zna
u mutnoj vodi, sto mnogim godi
posebno onim sa vrha i dna
Svi znaju svrhu, stuka na vrhu
tu su da kvare i naprave lom
a dole na dnu sudbinu jadnu
mnogima resava nekakav som
Ref.
Na sta se svodi zivot u vodi
pa eto, grabljivci imaju vlast
Grgec je glupan, ali je krupan
pa male ribice guta u slast
U dane gadne, kad voda padne
plasljive ribe ne vrede ni gros
naidju krize, drukcije grize
i samo najbolji plivaju jos
Ref.
