Black And White |
Even though the streets are dirty |
And even though I’m scared of the man |
Gonna stay here in the heart of the city |
I’m gonna make it to the top if I can |
Now I’m living in a ton of trouble |
My woman’s going out of her mind |
Ain’t we happy in your house on Main Street |
And ain’t ya glad you’re not the struggling kind |
Why don’t you |
Take me to the leader of society’s band |
We’re all dancing to the devil’s tune |
Yeah, brother blow your trumpet just as hard as you can |
Down below they still got plenty of room |
Well, don’t you know we’re dressed in black and white |
But everything will be all right |
Because the colour of a naked man |
Is the colour in Heaven’s plan |
Oh Lord, forgive me if I got it wrong |
See you in the church on Sunday |
And afterwards the preacher shakes hands |
Gonna keep the word of God in my memory |
I’m gonna raise a forest out of the sand, oh yeah |
Just |
Take me to the leader of society’s band |
We’re all dancing to the devil’s tune |
Yeah, brother blow your trumpet just as hard as you can |
Down below they still got plenty of room |
Well, don’t you know we’re dressed in black and white |
But everything will be all right |
Because the colour of a naked man |
Is the colour in Heaven’s plan |
You got to pray to the Lord when the night is long |
And somewhere He will find you a friend |
And if the God-given love of a friend is strong |
He’s the colour of Heaven’s plan |
Oh Lord, forgive me if I got it wrong |
