IN BLACK & WHITE

Janis Ian
앨범 : HUNGER


We were marching from Montgomery, Alabama, '65

Freedom riders, Jim Crow heros, come to keep the faith alive

We were picking Southern cotton, registration for the vote

We were one then - we were young then

When black & white still spoke

(chorus) Now it's all gone to pieces

God alone knows why

Just a story they call history

written down in black & white

And we set aside our anger, and we set aside our fears

And we built a common future on the bedrock of our tears

And we marched for the children and the millions without hope

We agreed to believe, when black & white still spoke

Now it's all gone to pieces

God alone knows why

Just a story they call history

written down in black & white

Nothing's sadder than the man who

thinks he's free when he is chained

to the prison of his hatred

and a dream gone up in flames

Colored only at the fountains,

congregations, soda shops

Colored only in the bathrooms

and the cemetery lots

And if Jesus was a black man

or as white as Sambo's grin

it's his words that we remember

not the color of his skin

It's all gone to pieces

God alone knows why

Just a story they call history

written down in black & white
