We People Who Are Darker Than Blue Lyrics

We People Who Are Darker Than Blue lyrics

WE PEOPLE WHO ARE DARKER THAN BLUE 
ARE WE GONNA STAND AROUND THIS TOWN AND
LET WHAT OTHERS SAY COME TRUE 
WE'RE- JUST GOOD FOR NOTHING THEY ALL FIGURE

A BOYISH GROWN UP SHIFTLESS JIGGER 
NOW WE CAN'T HARDLY STAND FOR THAT

OR IS THAT REALLY WHERE IT'S AT 
WE PEOPLE WHO ARE DARKER THAN BLUE

THIS AIN'T NO TIME FOR SEGREGATING 
I'M TALKING `BOUT BROWN AND YELLOW
TOO
HIGH YELLOW GAL CAN'T YOU TELL 
YOU'RE JUST THE SURFACE OF OUR DARK
DEEP WELL 
IF YOUR MIND COULD REALLY SEE 
YOU'D KNOW YOUR COLOR SAME AS
ME, 
PARDON ME BROTHER AS YOU STAND IN YOUR GLORY 
I KNOW YOU WON'T MIND
IF I TELL THE WHOLE STORY 
GET YOURSELF TOGETHER, LEARN TO KNOW YOUR SIGN

SHALL WE COMMIT OUR GENOCIDE BEFORE WE CHECK OUT OUR MIND 
I KNOW WE'VE
ALL GOT PROBLEMS THAT'S WHY I'M HERE TO SAY 
KEEP PEACE WITH ME AND I WITH
YOU 
LET ME LOVE IN MY OWN WAY 
NOW I KNOW WE HAVE GREAT RESPECT FOR THE
SISTER, AND MOTHER 
IT'S EVEN BETTER YET 
BUT THERE'S THE JOKER IN THE
STREET LOVING ONE BROTHER ANO KILLING THE OTHER 
WHEN THE TIME COMES AND WE
ARE REALLY FREE 
THERE'LL BE NO BROTHERS LEFT YOU SEE 
WE PEOPLE WHO ARE
DARKER THAN BLUE 
DON'T LET US HANG AROUND THIS TOWN 
AND LET WHAT OTHERS
SAY COME TRUE 
WE´RE JUST GOOD FOR NOTHING THEY ALL FIGURE 
A BOYISH
GROWN UP SHIFTLESS JIGGER 
NOW WE CAN'T HARDLY STAND FOR THAT 
OR IS THAT
REALLY WHERE IT'S AT 
PARDON ME BROTHER, I KNOW WE'VE COME A LONG LONG WAY

LET US STOP BEING SO SATISFIED
