lyrics

Brass n’ wind, brass n’ wind / Make a joyful
noise, you’re lucky to be alive / Brass n’ wind,
brass n’ wind / Lots of them didn’t make it,
you’re lucky to be alive

I was just drivin’ with just two wheels in a
land that wasn’t mine / And it’s just crazy
just how everythin’ turned out to be out of
sight / Everybody ask you how ‘you doin’?
They mean it they don’t want any fuss /
Celebration in the oaks, celebration of the
dead, c’mon just get lost /

I saw an old marchin’ band which was crossin’ a road with
nothin’ alive / Another marchin’ band which
was hustlin’ at nighttime in front of a garage

I’ve made a long road to hear a little bit of
my tone, found out it was gone / But you
can feel it in the name of the streets; they
write their fame at your feet /

They might have a black man at the white house, have
stopped splitting people up in buses / Makes
no difference at all when there’s no white
in the ride except for photographers in the
streetcars
