Black & Blue lyrics

I know a man who fills his emptiness

with strangers

I know a girl who drinks herself to

sleep at night

You can't change her

I know people who use chat rooms as

confessionals

I know down and outs who once were,

once they were professionals

Wipe it off your sleeve

Your superiority

Don't roll your eyes my sweet

I know a single mother who loses

her mind

On weekends

She pleads with lady luck on scratch

cards with money lent to her

By old friends

I know people who take midnight

drives for head space

I know they'd give for just one

loving embraces

Wipe it off your sleeve

Your superiority

Don't roll your eyes my sweet

We're just the same

We all get desperate sometimes

Feeling black and blue

I know you'll find it hard

to accept it sometimes

We all feel black and we feel blue

Wipe it off your sleeve

Your superiority

Don't roll your eyes my sweet

I know a rich man who has everything

you could wish for

But children

I know an old lady who talks a lot but

could teach you

If you listen

I know people who believe in gods and demons

I know ones who think there's nothing

there at all

Wipe it off your sleeve

Your superiority

Don't roll your eyes my sweet

We're just the same

We all get desperate sometimes

Feeling black and blue

I know you'll find it hard

to accept it sometimes

We all feel black and we feel blue

Wipe it off your sleeve

Your superiority

Don't roll your eyes my sweet

Wipe it off your sleeve

Your superiority

Don't roll your eyes my sweet.
