Curtis Mayfield
Right on for the Darkness
[Verse 1]
I am blind and I cannot see
You are there, your petty evil don't bother me
You're playing all the clothes you wear
Laugh at me, pressed and clean, and I don't care

[Refrain]
Right on for the darkness
Right on for the darkness

[Verse 2]
You pity fools, you pity fools
You better have some sympathy, yeah
'Cause it's the educated people
Running the lives of our society
Makin' up the rules
Holdin' back the schools
Lot of greed, lot of temptation
Prooves one thing, we're a hell of a nation

[Refrain]
Right on for the darkness
Right on, right on

[Post-Refrain]
Right on, right on
Right on, right on
Right on, right on for the darkness
Right on for the darkness
[Verse 3]
I am blind and I can't see how to understand
What do we mean for justice
Is there really levels to demand?
All man, you know you must
Regain all your children's trust

[Refrain]
Right on for the darkness
Right on for the darkness
Right on for the darkness

[Post-Refrain]
Right on, right on
Right on, right on for the darkness
Right on

[Verse 4]
We're in a messy world of tears
Through the ices' everyone will see
I can hear the people's fears
The world put a heavy weight on me

[Refrain]
Right on for the darkness
Right on, right on
Right on, right on for the darkness
[Verse 1]
I am blind and I cannot see
You are there, your petty evil don't bother me
You're playing all the clothes you wear
Laugh at me, pressed and clean, and I don't care

[Outro]
Right on for the darkness
Right on for the darkness
Right on for the darkness
Aw, aw, yeah!
