The NZA Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 The Man in Black Well you wonder why I always dress in black Why you never see bright colors on my back And why does my appearance seem to have a somber tone Well there's a reason for the things that I have on I wear the black for the poor and the beaten down Livin' in the hopeless hungry side of town I wear it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime But is there because he's a victim of the times I wear the black for those who've never read Or listened to the words that Jesus said About the road to happiness through love and charity Why you'd think he's talking straight to you and me Well we're doin' mighty fine I do suppose In our streak of lightning cars and fancy clothes But just so we're reminded of the ones who are held back Up front there oughta be a man in black I wear it for the sick and lonely old For the reckless ones whose bad trip left them cold I wear the black in morning for the lives that could have been Each week we lose a hundred fine young men And I wear it for the thousands who have died Believin' that the Lord was on their side I wear it for another hundred thousand who have died Believin' that we all were on their side Well there's things that never will be right I know And things need changin' everywhere you go But till we start to make a move to make a few things right You'll never see me wear a suit of white Oh I'd love to wear a rainbow every day and tell the world that everything's okay But I'll try to carry off a little darkness on my back Till things're brighter I'm the man in black Love, god & murder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TulipO Posted September 27, 2003 Share Posted September 27, 2003 Nice job guys. Michael and I have listened to "Sunday Morning Coming Down" every Sunday morning at work while we set up for god knows how long. We'd usually chase that w/ Folsom Prison just for kicks. Cash was some good shit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganny McVagflaps Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 Did anyone pick up the Rolling Stone with JC on the cover? That shit was awful. What the fuck happened to that magazine? They had jack shit on Cash but did thankfully have some nice articles on Brittany Spears and the like. He deserved a whole issue to himself not a coupla pages near the back. I mean why did they start putting folks like that fucking tub-o-lard American Idol fuck on the cover? What the fuck happened to their credibility? Never judge a book by it's cover they say, and I agree if it's Rolling Stone. Cunts. The article on teenage hos was good though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted October 8, 2003 Author Share Posted October 8, 2003 I wasnt aware of that...ill have to check it out. Sad if a major music magazine did a small article out of "necessity", but then Rolling Stone hasnt gotten much credit for being a real mag in a long time, as far as ive known.

Ganny McVagflaps Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 I guess that having Cash on the cover was only a ruse to fake credibility...two of the last three were Brittany Spears, which okay - I'll accept, and then the biggest what the fuck ever that Reuben chump. Shocking shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
