Why The Man In Black Sings The Blues

There’s a drug dealer selling to your children everyday

He’s rotten evil, but he ain’t nobody’s fool

He’s dealin’ death and livin’ high

Off your hard-earned pay,

That’s why The Man In Black sings the blues

That’s why The Man In Black sings the blues

Why should children, why should women be abused

There’s so precious few among us walking in the Savior’s shoes

That’s why The Man In Black sings the blues

We’ve got to stamp out hunger all around the planet Earth

We’ve got to be our weapons in the clouds

We’ve got to ban these bombs I say,

We’ve got to save our lives

We’ve got to do it all startin’ now

That’s why The Man In Black sings the blues

Why the farmer and his crops we’re saving too

So every workin’ stiff across this land won’t have to lose

That’s why The Man In Black sings the blues

The first Americans were the riskiest human beings

They saved us all that first Thanksgiving Day

Like the older folks behind, walkin’ in the welfare line

Their trail of tears grows longer by the way

That’s why The Man In Black sings the blues

Why should any human being be abused

There’s so precious few among us walking in the Savior’s shoes

That’s why The Man In Black sings the blues

That’s why The Man In Black sings the blues
