ben harper and relentless7 - why must you always dress in black


you may be a cheap date
but my therapy's expensive as hell
then you pay a psychic healer
who lets you know
things aren't really working out so well
tomorrow's shining off our face
yesterday's shadow is at our back
so why must you always dress in black

people they don't take advice
they only give it
and the only way you're ever gonna learn
is to live it
so what you spent your younger years
parlaying on the wrong side of the track
why must you always dress in black

if you have to lie
do it quickly and as thoroughly as you can
this morning i woke up slow
feeling like a shell of a man
don't blame me for us you cried
cut me some slack
and tell me why must you always dress in black

she wore high heels
the ones that can pierce your heart
just cause you go down in history
doesn't mean you're really all that smart
like robert e. lee you're at your best
when under attack
why must you always dress in black

you call in sick on monday
tuesday you show up late
wednesday you left early
thursday you fight with a boss you hate
friday you up and quit
saturday you want your old job back
sunday morning you wake up
all dressed in black
why must you always dress in black
