Black & White Reasoning

Verse 1.

I just met two fellows one was Cain one was Able
Well the Abe was groovy two shoes
But the Cain was not quite stable
Sent up on a hillside to determine wrong from right
Then they wrote it down here in black and white

And Adam stood stark naked with a fig leaf in his hand
Wondering if he thinks he might
Now they?re blaming his ole lady
But they just don?t understand
They?re was nothing he?d have rather tried

Refrain:

I?m a Man who believes in Black and White reasoning
If a good man is a good man than a bad man can?t be better
I?m a man who believes in Black and White reasoning
If she love?s you be careful if she doesn?t forget her.

Verse 2.

Samson was a hippie, used to where his hair in braids
Used to rumble cross the country then he?d kick back in the shade
But ?oops? here come Delilah. In her hand she held a knife
Gave that boy a skin head hair cut, was a wimp the rest his life

Makes me think of little David
Slinging stones across the land
Probably broke all of his neighbors windows, I suppose.
Had a disagreement with a big fat ugly man
He performed the act of murder and they made that boy a hero

Refrain:

I?m a Man who believes in Black and White reasoning
If a good man is a good man than a bad man can?t be better
I?m a man who believes in Black and White reasoning
If she love?s you be careful if she doesn?t forget her.

Verse 3.

Now the Sergeant was a ?Slovak? was an ordinary guy
He was forced to go to battle watched a thousand people die
Had the enemy surrounded but he couldn?t shoot em down
So they named the boy ?Court Marshaled? brought him back to safer ground.

Where they bound up both his ankles, tied up both his wrists
Strapped his head back in a most peculiar way
In then, walked a preacher with the good word in his fist
Told the boy he was forgiven ? watched them blow that kid away

And...

Refrain:

I?m a Man who believes in Black and White reasoning
If a good man is a good man than a bad man can?t be better
I?m a man who believes in Black and White reasoning
If she love?s you be careful if she doesn?t forget her.
