We People Darker Than Blue (2007 Remaster)

歌詞

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 WeґRe 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 For tomoraow can be an even brighter day
