Poor Man's Gray
From Chicago to Miami
Shout New York, shout LA
Today we take the White House
And paint it poor manâ"š¬â"ž¢s gray
From London to Damascus
Cry Freetown in Marseilles
Today we take the blue sky
And paint it poor manâ"š¬â"ž¢s gray
My mama she done told me
Thereâ"š¬â"ž¢s heart and then thereâ"š¬â"ž¢s hate
If one of them is inside of you
The other one it ainâ"š¬â"ž¢t
From the alleys on the East side
Where the train it throws the weight
Brother take that cheeky smile
And paint it poor manâ"š¬â"ž¢s gray
From Berlin to Havana
From Beijing to Bombay
Today we take the blue sky
And paint it poor manâ"š¬â"ž¢s gray
