《We The People Who Are Darker Than Blue》歌词

[00:00:00] We The People Who Are Darker Than Blue - Curtis Mayfield (寇帝·梅菲)

[00:00:03] Written by：Curtis Mayf

[00:00:30] We people who are darker than blue

[00:00:35] Are we gonna stand around this town

[00:00:38] And let what others say come true

[00:00:42] We're just good for nothing they all figure

[00:00:47] A boyish grown up shiftless jigger

[00:00:50] Now we can't hardly stand for that

[00:00:55] Or is that really where it's at

[00:00:58] We people who are darker than blue

[00:01:03] This ain't no time for segregating

[00:01:07] I'm talking 'bout brown and yellow two

[00:01:11] High yellow girl can't you tell

[00:01:15] You're just the surface of our dark deep well

[00:01:19] If your mind could really see

[00:01:22] You'd know your color same as me

[00:01:26] Pardon me brother as you stand in your glory

[00:01:33] I know you won't mind if I tell the whole story

[00:03:41] Story

[00:03:44] Get yourself together

[00:03:49] Learn to know your side

[00:03:54] Shall we commit own genocide

[00:03:58] Before we check out our mind

[00:04:04] I know we've all got problems

[00:04:06] That's why I'm here to say

[00:04:08] Keep peace with me and I with you

[00:04:11] Let me love in my own way

[00:04:50] Now I know we have great respect

[00:04:56] For the sister and mother it's even better yet

[00:05:03] But there's the joker in the street

[00:05:06] Loving one brother and killing the other

[00:05:11] When the time comes and we are really free

[00:05:15] There'll be no brothers left you see

[00:05:20] We people who are darker than blue

[00:05:25] Don't let us hang around this town

[00:05:28] And let what others say come true

[00:05:32] We're just good for nothing they all figure

[00:05:38] A grown up jigger well

[00:05:41] Now we can't hardly stand for that

[00:05:45] Or is that really where it's at

[00:05:52] Pardon me brother and you stand in your glory

[00:05:59] I know you won't mind if I tell the whole story

[00:06:07] Pardon me brother I know we've come a long long way

[00:06:13] But let us not be so satisfied for tomorrow

[00:06:21] For tomorrow can be an even brighter day
