Lyrics
Aint no use in cryin out Cause cryin will never help you
Aint no use in tryin to pray brother Cause everybody knows it wont save you
Aint no use in tryin to run Cause brother four walls will surely stop you
Cant even laugh now brother Even though even though nothins funnier than dying
Aint no use in waitin for someone Whose never ever ever ever ever gonna love you
Theres only time for dyin now Don't you know Don't you know that's the truth of living
I've got to return to the earth I've got to return to the earth
Where I come from Where I'm going to That I lived on
I've got to return to the earth I've got to return to the earth
Where I come from That I Lived on Where I'm going to
I'm going to the sky brother
To the sky, To the sky, To the sky. To the sky
To the sky. To the sky, To the sky, To the sky
Must be hell to be a negro in paradise
Well I'd rather be a black man down below
Can be hell called a boy in heaven
Well Id rather be with my friends down below
Well Id rather be with my friends down below
Ei I Ei I o
Well Id rather be with my friends down below
Well Id rather be with my friends down below
Well Id rather be with my friends down below
