Poor Man's Grey

From Chicago to Miami

Shout New York, shout L.A.

Today we take the White House

And paint it poor man's greyFrom London to Damascus

Cry Freetown in Marseilles

Today we take the blue sky

And paint it poor man's greyMy 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'tFrom 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
