Shades Of Brown

They say the darkest hour is just before the dawn In chess, without exception, white moves the first pawn They called it "Black Tuesday" when the stock market crashed A fix in 1919 turned the White Sox to Black Black balled, black magic, executioner's hood White hatted, white horsed, champion of good Black knight of Dark Ages on the darkest night The Pope walks in truth, head to toe in white [Chorus:] Who started all this bullshit - were they looking for a fight? You didn't have to be there to know that they were white But when you're talking skin tone, let's not fuck around Cause no one's really black or white, we're all just shades of brown Black hearted, black beard on the briney deep Or the family outcast you call the black sheep Days of black plague - draw your final breath
