Funk For Breakfast - Blackball

Everyone said it was easy to be

Like the sound of the sea

And the world abounding

Everyone wants to sing a simple song

When we all sing along

It’s all the better sounding

Hey, what’s that look on your face

In the place

Where your hope was erased

Cuz you’re so understanding

But you can’t see

What you never really wanted to be

You take it away

Then give it again to insecurity

And jump to the middle

Jump to the middle high to low

And to insanity you don’t really

Have much farther to go

And you can’t see

What you never really wanted to be

To be free

And undermine your insecurity

And jump to the middle

High to low

Everyone said that it is right

But it is wrong

And I’d love to belong

But the whole thing is saddening

Like Rodney King, can’t we all get along

And sing a simple song

That’s all the better sounding

Somebody said

That’s my soul up there now

And I just can’t see how

That we ever made it this far
