Black And White - La Bionda

Even though the streets are dirty

And even though I’m scared of the man

Gonna stay here in the heart of the city

I’m gonna make it to the top if I can

Now I’m living in a ton of trouble

My woman’s going out of her mind

Ain’t we happy in your house on Main Street

And ain’t ya glad you’re not the struggling kind

Why don’t you

Take me to the leader of society’s band

We’re all dancing to the devil’s tune

Yeah, brother blow your trumpet just as hard as you can

Down below they still got plenty of room

Well, don’t you know we’re dressed in black and white

But everything will be all right

Because the colour of a naked man

Is the colour in Heaven’s plan

Oh Lord, forgive me if I got it wrong

See you in the church on Sunday

And afterwards the preacher shakes hands

Gonna keep the word of God in my memory

I’m gonna raise a forest out of the sand, oh yeah

Just

Take me to the leader of society’s band

We’re all dancing to the devil’s tune

Yeah, brother blow your trumpet just as hard as you can

Down below they still got plenty of room

Well, don’t you know we’re dressed in black and white

But everything will be all right

Because the colour of a naked man

Is the colour in Heaven’s plan

You got to pray to the Lord when the night is long

And somewhere He will find you a friend

And if the God-given love of a friend is strong

He’s the colour of Heaven’s plan

Oh Lord, forgive me if I got it wrong
