Letra de Man In Black (with The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra)
Well, you wonder why I always dress in black Why you never see bright colors on my back And why does my appearance seem to have a somber tone? Well, there's a reason for the things that I have onI wear the black for the poor and beaten down Livin' in the hopeless, hungry side of town I wear it for the prisoners who has long paid for his crime But is there because he's a victim of the timeI wear the black for those who've never read Or listened to the words that Jesus said About the road to happiness, through love and charity Why you'd think He's talking straight to you and me?Well, we're doing mighty fine, I do suppose In our streak of lightning cars and fancy clothes But just so we're reminded of the ones who are held back Up front there ought to be a man in blackI wear it for the sick and lonely old For the reckless ones whose bad trip left them cold I wear the black in mourning for the lives that could have been Each week we lose a hundred fine young menAnd I wear it for the thousands who have died Believing that the Lord was on their side I wear it for another hundred thousand who have died Believing that we all were on their sideWell, there's things that never will be right, I know And things need changin' everywhere you go But 'til we start to make a move, to make a few things right You'll never see me wear a suit of whiteAh, I'd love to wear a rainbow every day And tell the world that everything's okay But I'll try to carry off a little darkness on my back 'Til things are brighter I'm the man in black
