Well, you wonder whyI always dress in blackWhy you never seeBright colors on my backAnd why does my appearanceSeem to have a somber tone?Well, there's a reason for the thingsThat I have onI wear the blackFor the poor and the beaten downLivin' in the hopelessHungry side of townI wear it for the prisonerWho has long paid for his crimeBut is there becauseHe's a victim of the timesI wear the blackFor those who've never readOr listenedTo the words that Jesus saidAbout the road to happinessThrough love and charityWhy you'd think He's talkingStraight to you and meWell, we're doin' mighty fineI do supposeIn our streak of lightnin' carsAnd fancy clothesBut just so we're remindedOf the ones who are held backUp front there ought to beA man in blackI wear itFor the sick and lonely oldFor the reckless onesWhose bad trip left them coldI wear the black in mournin'For the lives that could have beenEach week we loseA hundred fine young menAnd, I wear itFor the thousands who have diedBelievin' that the LordWas on their sideI wear it for anotherHundred thousand who have diedBelievin' that we allWere on their sideWell, there's thingsThat never will be right, I knowAnd things need changin'Everywhere you goBut till we start to make a moveTo make a few things rightYou'll never see meWear a suit of whiteAh, I'd love to wear a rainbowEvery dayAnd tell the worldThat everything's okayBut I'll try to carry offA little darkness on my backTill things are brighterI'm the man in black
