[00:17.275]We people who are darker than blue
[00:23.298]Are we gonna stand around this town
[00:27.563]And let what others say come true?
[00:31.829]We're just good for nothing, they all figure
[00:35.847]A boyish, grown-up, shiftless jigger
[00:39.611]Now we can't hardly stand for that
[00:43.627]Or is that really where it's at?
[00:48.153]We people who are darker than blue
[00:55.427]This ain't no time for segregatin'
[00:59.189]I'm talking 'bout brown and yellow, too
[01:03.454]High yellow gal, can't you tell
[01:07.469]You're just the surface of our dark, deep well?
[01:11.485]If your mind could really see
[01:15.248]You'd know your color the same as me
[01:19.513]Pardon me, brother, as you stand in your glory
[01:27.292]I know you won't mind if I tell the whole story
[03:03.365]Get yourself together, learn to know your sign
[03:08.385]Shall we commit our own genocide
[03:11.397]Before you check out your mind?
[03:13.904]I know we've all got problems
[03:16.916]That's why I'm here to say
[03:19.173]Keep peace with me and I with you
[03:22.185]Let me love in my own way
[04:20.228]Now I know we have great respect
[04:25.999]For the sister
[04:28.276]And mother, it's even better yet
[04:33.546]But there's the joker in the street
[04:37.060]Loving one brother and killing the other
[04:41.828]When the time comes and we are really free
[04:45.841]There'll be no brothers left, you see
[04:51.134]We people who are darker than blue
[04:57.156]Don't let us hang around this town
[05:00.670]And let what others say come true
[05:04.935]We're just good for nothing, they all figure
[05:08.951]A boyish, grown-up, shiftless jigger
[05:13.218]Now we can't hardly stand for that
[05:16.982]Or is that really where it's at?
[05:25.264]Pardon me, brother, while you stand in your glory
[05:31.788]I know you won't mind if I tell the whole story
[05:39.569]Pardon me, brother, I know we've come a long, long way
[05:48.352]But let us not be so satisfied
[05:51.866]For tomorrow can be an
[05:55.380]An even brighter day
