Man In Black
Why I always dress in black
Why you never see bright colors
On my back
And why does my appearance
Seem to have a somber tone
Well there's a reason for
The things that I have on
I wear the black for the poor
And the beaten down
Livin' in the hopeless hungry side of town
I wear it for the prisoner
Who has long paid for his crime
But is there
Because he's a victim of the times
I wear the black for
Those who never read
Or listened to the words
That jesus said
About the road to happiness
Through love and charity
Why you'd think
He's talking straight to you and me
Well we're doin' mighty fine
I do suppose
In our streak of lightnin' cars
And fancy clothes
But just so we're reminded of
The ones who are held back
Up front there ought be a
Man in black
I wear it for the sick
And lonely old
For the reckless ones whose
Bad trip left them cold
I wear the black in mournin'
For the lives that could have been
Each week we lose
A hundred fine young men
And I wear it for the thousands
Who have died
Believing that the lord was on their side
I wear it for another
Hundred thousand who have died
Believing that we all were on their side
Well there's things that never will be right
I know
And things need changin' everywhere you go
But till we start to make a move
To make a few things right
You'll never see me
Wear a suit of white
Ah I'd love to
Wear a rainbow every day
And tell the world that everything's ok
But I'll try to carry off
A little darkness on my back
Till things are brighter
I'm the man in black
