There's a drug dealer selling to your children everyday

He's rotten evil, but he ain't nobody's fool

Off your hard-earned pay,

That's why The Man In Black sings the blues

Why should children, why should women be abused

There's so precious few among us walking in the Savior's shoes

G A D
That's why The Man In Black sings the blues

D G D G
We've got to stamp out hunger all around the planet Earth

D G A
We've got to be our weapons in the clouds

The first Americans were the riskiest human beings

Like the older folks behind, walkin' in the welfare line

G A
Their trail of tears grows longer by the way

G A D
That's why The Man In Black sings the blues

Why should any human being be abused

G A D G
There's so precious few among us walking in the Savior's shoes
