Текст песни: Man In Black + перевод

Well, you wonder why I always dress in black

Why you never see bright colors on my back

And why does my appearance seem to have a somber tone

Well, there’s a reason for the things that I have on

I wear the black for those who’ve never read

Or listened to the words that Jesus said

About the road to happiness through love and charity

Why, you’d think He’s talking straight to you and me

Well, we’re doing mighty fine, I do suppose

In our streak of lightning cars and fancy clothes

But just so we’re reminded of the ones who are held back

Up front there ought to be a man in black

And I wear it for the thousands who have died

Believing that the Lord was on their side

I wear it for another hundred thousands who have died

Believing that we all were on their side

Well, there’s things that never will be right I know

And things need changing everywhere you go

But 'til we start to make a move to make a few things right

You’ll never see me wear a suit of white

Ah, I’d love to wear a rainbow every day

And tell the world that everything’s okay

But I’ll try to carry off a little darkness on my back

Until things are brighter, I’m the Man In Black
