Coffee Black Lyrics

You like your coffee black, your neighborhood white, your lights are out at nine o' clock at night. Are you affraid of everything, or just the truth? You've got pre-packaged food, Family Feud, faith in the church, and a good clean attitude. Are you affraid of everything, or just the truth? The only problem that you've got, is the night that Wheel of Fortune's not. And the only thing you haven't bought, are the people that are buying you. You are the Moral Majority, devoid of moral priority. You are Barbie Doll sorority. You are the Boys' Club government. How we lust familarity, speedy compact portability. Every step that you take forward, is a generation back for us. We are the ugly. We are the gay, Impoverished, effeminate, and overweight. Take your consumer culture back from us. It's a fucking economic attack on us all. And the Football Season is the only reason you stay alive in your Prime Time beehive.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
