From Chicago to Miami
|
Shout New York, shout LA
|
Today we take the White House
|
And paint it poor man's gray
|
From London to Damascus
|
Cry Freetown in Marseilles
|
Today we take the blue sky
|
And paint it poor man's gray
|
My mama she done told me
|
There's heart and then there's hate
|
If one of them is 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 gray
|
From Berlin to Havana
|
From Beijing to Bombay
|
Today we take the blue sky
|
And paint it poor man's gray
|

Poor Man's Grey
