Story Behind the Song
Written after the Jonestown mass suicide in Guyana.
Lyrics
When I'm feeling red
When I'm feeling red, red, red
Sometimes I wish the world would fall on me
When I'm feeling red
Was it what they said?
Was it what they said, said, said?
I don't know if it was what they said
All I know is I'm feeling red
What's going on inside me?
I want to put a bullet through someone's head
Why am I so angry
I fell like someone's going to end up dead
I got to get a hold of my self
And put it on the line
Because I know I won't understand
When I'm feeling red
What am I to do?
What am I to do, doux doux?
I don't know what I am to do
Pretty soon I'll be feeling blue
When I'm feeling blue
When I'm feeling blue-red-blue
I won't follow you when I'm red and blue
No, No, No, I won't follow you!
