Lady Day And John Coltrane Lyrics - Pieces Of A Man - Gil Scott-heron

Ever feel kinda down and out, you don't know just what to do 

Livin' all of your days in darkness let the sun shine through 

Ever feel that somehow, somewhere you lost your way 

And if you don't get a help quick you won't make it through the day 

Or could you call on Lady Day, could you call on John Coltrane 

Now 'cause there, they'll wash your troubles, your troubles, your troubles away 

Plastic people with plastic minds are on their way to plastic homes 

No beginning there ain't no ending just on and on and on and on and on, it's 

All because they're so afraid to say that they're alone 

Until I hear old Rodney ridin' on his saxophone 

Or could you call on Lady Day, could you call on John Coltrane 

Now 'cause there, they'll wash your troubles, your troubles, 

Your troubles away 

Alright 

Ever feel kinda down and out, you don't know just what to do 

Livin' all of your days in darkness let the sun shine through 

Ever feel that somehow, somewhere you lost your way 

And if you don't get a help quick you won't make it through the day 

Or could you call on Lady Day, could you call on John Coltrane 

Now 'cause there, they'll wash your troubles, your troubles, your troubles, your troubles 

Your troubles, your troubles, your troubles 

Your troubles, your troubles, 

Your troubles away 

They'll wash your troubles away
