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

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

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

Why does my appearance[00:00:17]

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

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

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

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

And the beaten down[00:00:30]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Through love and charity[00:01:02]

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

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

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

I do suppose[00:01:13]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Who have died[00:02:08]

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

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

I know[00:02:18]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

On my back[00:02:51]

Till things are brighter [00:02:53]

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