Blue Collar Lyrics

	作词 : Scott-Heron
	I been down in
	Pennsylvania,
	Where I was working in the mine.
	And I been down in
	Cincinnati;
	They laid me off the assembly line.
	Yeah, they got me looking everywhere,
	But I ain't too proud of what
	I found. And you can't name where
	I ain't been down. '
	Cause there ain't no place
	I ain't been down.
	I was down in
	Kansas City,
	Where even the blues sell by the pound
	And I been down in
	New York City, brother,
	And that ain't no place to be down.
	Yeah, I'm a-looking at the face of the children;
	You see, we're looking for a higher ground,
	And you can't name where we ain't been down. '
	Cause there ain't no place we ain't been down.
	We fell down somewhere
	Between the cities and the towns.
	We went down,
	I know, Between the smiles and the frowns.
	And if they call me in the morning,
	I mean, I'd recognize the sound, '
	Cause you can't name where we ain't been down.
	There ain't no place we ain't been down.
	Standing in the shadows
	It sho'nuff (sure enough) looks like rain.
	I see the steel-gray clouds above me
	Yeah, well the anguish and the pain.
	Yeah, I been looking everywhere for peace,
	But I swear, there just ain't none around.
	But you can't name where
	I ain't been down. '
	Cause there ain't no place
	I ain't been down.
	We been down
	Between the cities and the towns.
	Yeah, been down somewhere
	Between the smiles and the frowns.
	And if they call me in the morning,
	I mean, I'd recognize the sound, '
	Cause you can't name where
	I ain't been down.
	There ain't no place
	I ain't been down.
