Black & Purple
Cynthia Jean
In her room 16
Black Sabbath blasting
1971
In burst Uncle Pete
Said, "turn that F-ing thing
Down" grabbed the record
Broke it against the wall
Black & purple
Cynthia Jean
Sat with mouth gaping
She'd never heard Pete curse
It was a warm summer night
Uncle Pete
Didn't dig Sweet Leaf
This quiet evening
It was just a little too loud
Black & purple
It's understandable
Uncle Pete liked classical
But this over-reaction made
Cynthia Jean
Feel ashamed
