Black and White

Lyrics

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
