Consolation - Brave Melvin From The Southern Point lyrics

rate me

Sometimes I close my eyes

sometimes I open my eyes

But the view remains the same

Surrounding me is prejudice

And Melvin... that's my name

Grave disorder

White mans greed

Oppressing millions

To plant the seeds

Seeds were planted

But in the wrong way

Melvin, that's my name

And I'am black is that OK?

Brave Melvin

From the Southern point

And now we're in the nineties

And do things have changed

Changes are so many

But prejudice stays the same

The seeds are planted

But in the wrong way

Melvin is my name

I'm black is that OK?

Brave Melvin

From the southern point

Heading for the future

The pace of life increased

For making lots of money

The business man agrees

Modern day enslavement

And we all sing along

Selling souls and culture

Again we are wrong
