Paint It Black Lyrics
| Song | Paint It Black |
| Artist | Gil Scott-Heron |
| Album | Small Talk at 125th and Lenox |
| Download | Image LRC TXT |
| Picture a man of nearly thirty | |
| Who seems twice as old with clothes torn and dirty | |
| Give him a job shining shoes | |
| Or cleaning out toilets with bus station crews | |
| Give him six children with nothing to eat | |
| Expose them to life on a ghetto street | |
| Tie an old rag around his wife's head | |
| And have her pregnant and lying in bed | |
| Stuff them all in a Harlem house | |
| And then tell them how bad things are down South. |
