Architects

heard the shots and ran outside
finally we're where he died
sheriff came over and took off his hat
kept asking me "boy where's your mother at?"

saw his body into the hearse
interrogation blew my crown i cussed and spat and kicked and cursed
what's it matter if the story's true
could not protect him they already knew

daddy wore black, daddy had guns
daddy rode a cadillac and daddy sold drugs
there ain't no right and there ain't no wrong
you can choose
daddy wore black and now i'm wearing black too
no matter who i am or what i do

is there someone you can call
use the pay phone against the wall
we can make it hard on you my friend
we can send you where your daddy went

daddy wore black, daddy had guns
daddy rode a cadillac and daddy sold drugs
there ain't no right and there ain't no wrong
you can choose
daddy wore black and now i'm wearing black too
no matter who i am or what i do

though your heart is young and strong
nothing good lasts very long
we buried the man we carried so
we do for ours just like ya done for yours

daddy wore black, daddy had guns
daddy rode a cadillac and daddy sold drugs
there ain't no right and there ain't no wrong
you can choose
daddy wore black and now i'm wearing black too
no matter who i am or what i do

daddy wore black
daddy got guns
daddy got soul
daddy got soul

and now i'm wearing black
and now i'm wearing black
and now i'm wearing black too
