《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)

[00:00:18] We people who are darker than blue

[00:00:24] Are we gonna stand around this town

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

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

[00:00:36] A boyish grown up shiftless jigger

[00:00:40] Now we can't hardly stand for that

[00:00:44] Or is that really where it's at

[00:00:49] We people who are darker than blue

[00:00:56] This ain't no time for segregatin'

[00:00:59] I'm talking 'bout brown and yellow two

[00:01:04] High yellow girl can't you tell

[00:01:08] You're just the surface of our dark deep well

[00:01:12] If your mind could really see

[00:01:16] You'd know your color the same as me

[00:01:20] Pardon me brother as you stand in your glory

[00:01:28] I know you won't mind if I tell the whole story

[00:03:04] Get yourself together learn to know your side

[00:03:08] Shall we commit our own genocide

[00:03:12] Before you check out your mind

[00:03:14] I know we've all got problems

[00:03:17] That's why I'm here to say

[00:03:19] Keep peace with me and I with you

[00:03:22] Let me love in my own way

[00:04:21] Now I know we have great respect

[00:04:26] For the sister and mother it's even better yet

[00:04:34] But there's the joker in the street

[00:04:38] Loving one brother and killing the other

[00:04:42] When the time comes and we are really free

[00:04:46] There'll be no brothers left you see

[00:04:51] We people who are darker than blue

[00:04:57] Don't let us hang around this town

[00:05:01] And let what others say come true

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

[00:05:10] A boyish grown up shiftless jigger

[00:05:13] Now we can't hardly stand for that

[00:05:17] Or is that really where it's at

[00:05:25] Pardon me brother while you stand in your glory

[00:05:33] I know you won't mind if I tell the whole story

[00:05:41] Pardon me brother I know we've come a long long way

[00:05:48] But let us not be so satisfied for tomorrow can be an

[00:05:55] An even brighter day
