Lena Horne Still Sings Stormy Weather:
They tore down Ship's just like they tore down Tiny Naylor's
They'll tear down anything in this town
They'll do just about anything to squeeze an extra dime
They'd probably even sell their own grandmothers
Ah but Lena Horne still sings stormy weather
Yeah things are bad but they could get better
Yeah things are bad but they could get better
And I'm just waiting to see which way they go
Yeah I'm just waiting to see which way they go
They say Jesse Jackson will never be president
But in the end he's still the man I’d vote for
'cause people everywhere we're working our ass off
And can't even afford to pay our bills
Ahh Lena Horne’s still singing stormy weather
Well things are bad but they could get better
Well things they’re bad but they could get better
And I'm just waiting to see which way they go
Yeah I'm just waiting to see which way they go
Ahh Lena Horne still sings stormy weather
Yeah things are bad but they could get better
Well things they’re bad but they could get better
And I'm just waiting to see which way they go
Yeah I'm just waiting to see which way they go

Colorblind:
The houses all look the same sometimes I ‘d even ran into the Freeman's next door thinking it was ours
Those were my marco polo slip n slidin' days I can't remember ;Bout my first or second or the third grade
But then everything, everything started to change
Yeah everything, everything started to change
The Johnsons moved in down the street I went to St. Augustus with their son Michael who played ball
Then my dad and all the men from the neighborhood got together started drinking in the back of our house at the bar
I heard hatred, a hatred that I'd never heard
you could feel hatred, a hatred that I never felt
Go ahead what are you supposed to go when you're so small
They said it wasn't a question of race
Itt's just property values
They said it wasn't a question of Race
We'd just have to move
We moved away as fast as we could sell the house

Nuthin's Perfect:
I thought that when I stopped drinking things would shine in a different light
Everything would just come to me some dark and lonely night
You and me would get along everything would be just fine
Seems all that's come for me has made me toss and turn at night
They always say that nuthin's perfect
Well trust me i'm well aware of that
Oh yeah i'm well aware of that
You can take my word i'm well aware
When the man was out for years, he was out for most of his life
Two or Three other people fall, two and two always equal five
He didn't listen back then and he don't listen much today
Seems he’s in more trouble now then he ever was in the past
They always say that nuthin's perfect
Well trust me i'm well aware of that
Oh yeah i'm well aware of that
You can take my word i'm well aware now
You can take my word i'm well aware
It seems that the older I get you know the less i seem to know
I've learned a whole lot of lessons but i haven't learned nuthin at all
I’m the same stupid little kid that I was ten years ago
Said I'm in more trouble now then I ever was in before
They always say that nuthin's perfect
Well trust me i'm well aware of that
Oh yeah i'm well aware of that
You can take my word i'm well aware now
You can take my word i'm well aware
Well take my word i'm well aware
Take my word, take my word
take my word take my word
I’m well aware

You Better Run:
Well the Lord was talking to Adam
he was whispering to Sweet Jane
But it didn't really matter
They weren't really listening
They didn't seem to see things the same
But you better run
yeah baby you better run
Yeah baby you better run
There six diamond rings
On six different fingers
Connected to a artificial arm
She had six different husbands
With six different incomes
And six different reasons to run
Yeah you better run
Well baby you better run
Oh just run
Yeah you better run
Well baby you better run
Well you better run
Ooh run
There's a one eyed midget
a triple legged bail bondsman
trying to get his wife out of jail
Well he didn't really love her
He didn't even like her
but sometimes that's the way things are
and you better run
yeah baby you better run
well baby you better run
yeah run run run
