Right On for the Darkness Lyrics


I am blind and I cannot see
You are there, your petty evil don't bother me
Playing all the clothes you wear
Laugh at me, pressed and clean, and I don't careRight on for the darkness
Right on for the darknessYou pity fools, you pity fools
You better have some sympathy, yeah
'Cause this educated people
Running the lives of high societyMaking up the blues
Holding back schools
Lot of greed, lot of temptation
Proof of one thing, we're a hell of a nationRight on for the darkness
Right on, right onRight on, right on
Right on, right on
Right on, right on for the darkness
Right on for the darknessI am blind and I can't see how to understand
What do we need for justice
Is there really enough room to demand?
Old man you know too well us

You gain all your children's trustRight on for the darkness
Right on for the darkness
Right on for the darknessRight on, right on
Right on, right on for the darkness
Right onWell the message with the tears
Through the eyes is everyone will see
I can hear the people's fears
[Incomprehensible] everywhere to meRight on for the darkness
Right on, right on
Right on, right on for the darknessI am blind and I cannot see
You are there, your petty evil don't bother me
Playing all the clothes you wear
Laugh at me, pressed and clean, and I don't careRight on for the darkness
Right on for the darkness
Right on for the darkness

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Curtis Mayfield (June 3, 1942 – December 26, 1999) was an American soul, funk and rhythm and blues, singer-songwriter and guitarist from Chicago, Illinois. Mayfield is probably best known for his anthemic music with The Impressions and for the soundtrack to the blaxploitation film Superfly. Perhaps because he didn't cross over to the pop audience as heavily as Motown's stars, it may be that the scope of Curtis Mayfield's talents and contributions have yet to be fully recognized. Judged merely by his records alone, the man's legacy is enormous.
