Little Brown Blues
I would have gone astray
Mmm
Had I known we'd get betrayed
Or maybe I should have hurt them
After all they deserve
What's coming their way
Am I a fool to want better
I thought that we were the same
Instead you got me here weeping
Peace marching and preaching
To remain a slave
Little brown blues
A war that I did not choose
Oh Little brown blues
Little brown blues
Little brown blues
Oh Little brown blues
There's so much pain in these shoes
Oh Little brown blues
Little brown blues
Little brown blues
Now you've got me here ashamed
To say I feel this way
Who knew my heart will never change
About my own race
And loving this way
How could you turn me so on
I'm not so free all along
Making me feel so wrong
Believing I belong
In a cell or grave
Oh Little brown blues
Inanimate with no clue
Oh Little brown blues
Little brown blues
Little brown blues
Oh Little brown blues
There's so much pain in these shoes
Oh Little brown blues
Little brown blues
Little brown blues
This is a sound of hope
A Penny for the wise we all float
A memory for the times we all quote
And forgiveness for the lies we all told
Forgive me for the times we lost soul
And forgive us for the times we sold for
30 Pieces we was greedy
Never resolved those
Issues we was issued
Generations of lost folk
I just want to fly away
I just want to fly away
To a dimension that heals all the cries of pain
And the times of strain
And the precision to fix all the eyes we can't
And the lives we taint
And the resistance to fight again
Again
And again
Oh Little brown blues
Inanimate with no clue
Oh Little brown blues
Little brown blues
Little brown blues
Oh Little brown blues
There's so much pain in these shoes
Oh, Little brown blues
Little brown blues
Little brown blues
Mmm
Had I known we'd get betrayed
Or maybe I should have hurt them
After all they deserve
What's coming their way
Am I a fool to want better
I thought that we were the same
Instead you got me here weeping
Peace marching and preaching
To remain a slave
Little brown blues
A war that I did not choose
Oh Little brown blues
Little brown blues
Little brown blues
Oh Little brown blues
There's so much pain in these shoes
Oh Little brown blues
Little brown blues
Little brown blues
Now you've got me here ashamed
To say I feel this way
Who knew my heart will never change
About my own race
And loving this way
How could you turn me so on
I'm not so free all along
Making me feel so wrong
Believing I belong
In a cell or grave
Oh Little brown blues
Inanimate with no clue
Oh Little brown blues
Little brown blues
Little brown blues
Oh Little brown blues
There's so much pain in these shoes
Oh Little brown blues
Little brown blues
Little brown blues
This is a sound of hope
A Penny for the wise we all float
A memory for the times we all quote
And forgiveness for the lies we all told
Forgive me for the times we lost soul
And forgive us for the times we sold for
30 Pieces we was greedy
Never resolved those

Generations of lost folk
I just want to fly away
I just want to fly away
To a dimension that heals all the cries of pain
And the times of strain
And the precision to fix all the eyes we can't
And the lives we taint
And the resistance to fight again
Again
And again
Oh Little brown blues
Inanimate with no clue
Oh Little brown blues
Little brown blues
Little brown blues
Oh Little brown blues
There's so much pain in these shoes
Oh, Little brown blues
Little brown blues
Little brown blues
