EVERCLEAR

EVERCLEAR - Jackie Robinson lyrics

rate me

Luther Jackson green

you didn't even in the apartment above me

we smoke cigarettes on the stairs

tell me stories that whipe boys never hear

like when it found the shine

can move north in 1949

on this gentle..got it took em the talent

see the Jackie Robinson play

it was a picture perfect day

in the sunshine in the hate

you didn't understand why those people were said such horrible things

his death pays no attention to them

turn around to what's a man

The wood black man in the place bar

filled was better in every day

my daddy said if you wanna win in this world

you gotta beat em at the wrong game

Luther Jackson green

with the lost school 1963

in the summer between he worked in Alabama with Martin Luther king

he met a girl in the summer night

and felt hard when saw each other's eyes

there were people down that really didn't like the evil black

and she was white

They found her in the ditch a little outside the town

some stupid memories glass in the..so roof ain't beating down

he looked me in the eyes..and turned and walked away

We knew it was better than other pain

We knew it was better than other pain

We knew that the..when the time to walk away

He knew until he changed the rules

oh and now he beat it with the wrong game

He never did lose that feeling inside

you can hear it in his voice, you can hear it in his eyes

with the move now where's to live

when it's right passed away

and he's running next door to the son

so you're watching..game

Luther Jackson green

watch your legs and that was me

and put the black now in the white house

I think he never thought it seem

could know and ever cry

I could see tears in his eyes

You dreamed about this moment

every single day of his life

yeah..at night in sleep

but it lives long enough to see

America become the kind of..

all he's wanted it to be

he said he could never forget the day

that would beat it with the wrong game

yeah just like Jackie Robinson

like Jackie Robinson

Gotta be bigger than other hand

just like Jackie Robinson ohh

gotta be better than other pen

just like Jackie Robinson ohh

gotta find a better way oh

just like Jackie Robinson ohh

oh gotta beat it the wrong game

just like Jackie Robinson ohh

oh kind of beat the wrong game

just like Jackie Robinson ohh

kind of beating the wrong game

just like Jackie Robinson

just like Jackie Robinso
