Poor Man's Grey Songtext
von Matthew Good

From Chicago to Miami
Shout New York, shout L.A.
Today we take the White House
And paint it poor man′s grey

From London to Damascus
Cry Freetown in Marseilles
Today we take the blue sky
And paint it poor man's grey


My mama she done told me
There′s heart and then there's hate
If one of them's inside of you
The other one it ain′t

From the alleys on the East side
Where the train it throws the weight
Brother take that cheeky smile
And paint it poor man′s grey

From Berlin to Havana
From Beijing to Bombay
Today we take the blue sky
And paint it poor man's grey
