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
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
