Story behind the song

"¶So I returned, and considered all the oppressions that are done under the sun: and behold the tears of such as were oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of their oppressors there was power; but they had no comforter.
2  Wherefore I praised the dead which are already dead more than the living which are yet alive.
3  Yea, better is he than both they, which hath not yet been, who hath not seen the evil work that is done under the sun."

ECCLESIASTES 4:1-3


"¶Therefore I hated life; because the work that is wrought under the sun is grievous unto me: for all is vanity and vexation of spirit.
18  Yea, I hated all my labour which I had taken under the sun: because I should leave it unto the man that shall be after me.
19  And who knoweth whether he shall be a wise man or a fool? yet shall he have rule over all my labour wherein I have laboured, and wherein I have shewed myself wise under the sun. This is also vanity.
20  Therefore I went about to cause my heart to despair of all the labour which I took under the sun.
21  For there is a man whose labour is in wisdom, and in knowledge, and in equity; yet to a man that hath not laboured therein shall he leave it for his portion. This also is vanity and a great evil.
22  For what hath man of all his labour, and of the vexation of his heart, wherein he hath laboured under the sun?
23  For all his days are sorrows, and his travail grief; yea, his heart taketh not rest in the night. This is also vanity.
24  There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it was from the hand of God."

ECCLESIASTES 2: 17-24

Lyrics

Solomon was a very wise man
He looked at life 
And tried to understand
But it was way beyond him
He was perplexed
As he searched within
He said, vanity, vanity, vanity 
Is the news!
He had the Solomon blues

He said, when I look at life
Life under the sun
I say better is he
Who had never been born
Than to see all the misery, evil and wickedness
All in my lifetime
Have I witnessed
Singing The Book Ecclesiastes
It's true!
I sing the Solomon blues


He said, I hated this life
This life that is mine
'Cause when I die
I shall leave my wealth behind
For a wise man or for a fool
Oh friend believe me
That is not cool
So I will just eat, rejoice
And serve The Lord who is true
I sing the Solomon blues
