As Trains Go By

Lyrics

[Chorus] Like CeeLo Green in a sea of red lights I might as well be famous, since I ain't gon' be white One way or another, I know I'll be all right As trains go by - bad times outta sight [Verse 1] (Judith Hill & Prince) Telling you that you're not what you can sing Everything else here but you're born to be Calling you names while trying to make you cheat Shoot you dead and leave your body out in the streets (Tell me what's fair) [Chorus] Like CeeLo Green in a sea of red lights I might as well be famous, since I ain't gon' be white One way or another, I know I'll be all right As trains go by - bad times outta sight [Verse 2] (Judith Hill & Prince) How can a chokehold never on TV Still be okay with the NYC PD Since ninteen hundred sixty five, thought we were free We talk about you, we talk about me [Chorus] Like CeeLo Green in a sea of red lights I might as well be famous, since I ain't gon' be white One way or another, I know I'll be all right As trains go by - bad times outta sight [Verse 3] (Judith Hill & Prince) How many bodies need to hit the ground 'For the masses raise their voice and they make a sound Hold a Cherry Coke, whatever takes them down Think about a dance when you hear the sound [Verse 4] (Judith Hill & Prince) While Martin sleeps, Brother Malcom is awake This time they won't plop on our piece of cake Set em free then, friends, let our reparation shake Everybody shake no time to waste (No time to waste) [Chorus] Like CeeLo Green in a sea of red lights I might as well be famous, since I ain't gon' be white One way or another, I know I'll be all right As trains go by - bad times outta sight
