Right on for the Darkness - Curtis Mayfield

I am blind and I cannot see

You are there, your petty evil don’t bother me

Playing all the clothes you wear

Laugh at me, pressed and clean, and I don’t care

Right on for the darkness

Right on for the darkness

You pity fools, you pity fools

You better have some sympathy, yeah

'Cause this educated people

Running the lives of high society

Making up the blues

Holding back schools

Lot of greed, lot of temptation

Proof of one thing, we’re a hell of a nation

Right on for the darkness

Right on, right on

Right on, right on

Right on, right on

Right on, right on for the darkness

Right on for the darkness

I am blind and I can’t see

Incomprehensible

What do we need for justice

Is there really enough room to demand?

Old man you know too well us

You gain all your children’s trust

Right on for the darkness

Right on for the darkness

Right on for the darkness

Right on, right on

Right on, right on for the darkness

Right on

Well the message with the tears

Through the eyes is everyone will see

I can hear the people’s fears

Incomprehensible

Everywhere to me

Right on for the darkness

Right on, right on

Right on, right on for the darkness

I am blind and I cannot see

You are there, your petty evil don’t bother me

Playing all the clothes you wear

Laugh at me, pressed and clean, and I don’t care

Right on for the darkness

Right on for the darkness

Right on for the darkness
