Rickie Lee Jones - The Gospel Of Carlos, Norman And Smith lyrics

Didn't you hear? Black is a criminal, White is a crime, Poison is the pen Writing down this children's nursery rhyme. Didn't you see him standing next to me? The seeds of change have grown, We don't have to hide anymore. Lololololololo, that means trouble from the other side, Lololololololo, maybe the trouble of a hopeful heart. It doesn't take much to see If you're looking for an enemy, Greed and apathy Spell the letters of our name. You sit and laugh at other people, Making money off their shame and sorrow, Waiting for tomorrow to fix itself. Lololololololo, that means trouble from the other side, Lololololololo, maybe the trouble of a hopeful heart. It's a dark night to feed a stranger, I don't have enough to feed myself. I keep trying to believe in believing In something I can't see From where I stand, I pull it with my faith, With the smile on my face. It's gonna take a lot more Than you might be used to, Who's to blame for not standing up for them When it was not in style? When hope is the color of a man The color of love is the color that can Stand for something. Lololololololo, that means trouble from the other side, Lololololololo, may be trouble of a hopeful heart. Lololololololo, the trouble of a hopeful heart, A hopeful heart, it could be a hopeful heart.
