《Man in Black [1971](Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:01] Man in Black (1971) - Jeb

[00:00:06] You wonder why I always dress in black

[00:00:11] Why you never see bright colors on my back

[00:00:17] Why does my appearance

[00:00:19] Seem to have a somber tone

[00:00:22] Well there's a reason

[00:00:23] For the things that I have on

[00:00:28] I wear the black for the poor

[00:00:30] And the beaten down

[00:00:33] Living in the hopeless hungry side of town

[00:00:38] And I wear it for the prisoner

[00:00:41] Who's long paid for his crime

[00:00:43] But is there because he's a victim of the times

[00:00:49] I wear the black for those who've never read

[00:00:54] Or listened to the words that Jesus said

[00:01:00] About the road to happiness

[00:01:02] Through love and charity

[00:01:05] Why you'd think he's talking

[00:01:06] Straight to you and me

[00:01:10] Well we're doing mighty fine

[00:01:13] I do suppose

[00:01:16] In our streak of lightning cars and fancy clothes

[00:01:21] But just so we're reminded

[00:01:24] Of the ones who are held back

[00:01:26] Up front there ought to be a Man In Black

[00:01:33] I wear it for the sick and lonely old

[00:01:37] And for the reckless ones

[00:01:39] Whose bad trip left them cold

[00:01:43] And I wear the black in mourning

[00:01:45] For the lives that might have been

[00:01:48] Each week we lose a hundred fine young men

[00:01:53] And I wear it for the thousands who have died

[00:01:59] Believing that the Lord was on their side

[00:02:04] I wear it for another hundred thousand

[00:02:08] Who have died

[00:02:10] Believing that we all were on their side

[00:02:15] Well there's things that never will be right

[00:02:18] I know

[00:02:21] And things need changing everywhere you go

[00:02:26] But till we start to make a move

[00:02:29] To make a few things right

[00:02:31] You'll never see me wear a suit of white

[00:02:36] And I'd love to wear a rainbow every day

[00:02:42] And tell the world that everything's okay

[00:02:47] But I'll try to carry off a little darkness

[00:02:51] On my back

[00:02:53] Till things are brighter

[00:02:58] I'm the Man In Black
