lyrics

you wonder why i paint my fingers black why you never see bright colors on my back and why does my appearance seem to have a ghoulish tone well there’s a reason for the things that i have on i wear ‘em for the poor & beaten down still voting republican all year ‘round & i wear ‘em for the police state enslaved by lies believing that the drug war is on their side & i wear ‘em for those who’ve never read brainwashed by the words that jesus said about the masochistic self hatin’ gravity fascist holy death threats towards you & me -- well we’re doing mighty fine i do suppose in our consumerist zombie lifestyle clothes but for all of those who are held back jack cassady is always the real man in black -- & i wear ‘em for the sick & depraved bold the geltab whacked whose bad trips left them cold & i wear them for some felons up in susanville & eternal love locked up in macomb jail i wear ‘em for the lives that could’ve been each day in iraq we’re losing a 100 fine young men & i wear ‘em for the foreign 100,000 who have died collateral damage them tv networks hide well things’ll never be right i know & shit needs changin’ everywhere you go but ‘till the revolution that’ll make a few things right you’ll never catch my ass in a suit of white – i’d love to wear a fucking rainbow everyday kittens skittles puppies everything’s ok but until then i’ll carry a lil’ of that darkness on my back ‘till things are looking brighter i’m the real man in black
