Ever feel kinda down and out, you dont 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 dont get a help quick you wont make it through the day
Or could you call on Lady Day, could you call on John Coltrane
Now cause there, theyll wash your troubles, your troubles, your troubles away
Plastic people with plastic minds are on their way to plastic homes
No beginning there aint no ending just on and on and on and on and on, its
All because theyre so afraid to say that theyre 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, theyll wash your troubles, your troubles,
your troubles away
Alright
Ever feel kinda down and out, you dont 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 dont get a help quick you wont make it through the day
Or could you call on Lady Day, could you call on John Coltrane
Now cause there, theyll wash your troubles, your troubles, your troubles, your troubles
Your troubles, your troubles, your troubles
Your troubles, your troubles,
your troubles away
Theyll wash your troubles away
Gil Scott-Heron (1949-2011) was an American poet, musician, and activist widely considered a pioneer of the hip hop movement. Born in Chicago, Heron began his career as a spoken word artist in the 1960s, blending poetry and jazz music to create a new genre that fused elements of blues, funk, and soul. His music often carried a strong political message, addressing issues such as racism, poverty, and social oppression. Heron is particularly known for his song "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised", which became an anthem against television propaganda and manipulation. Among his most important albums are "Pieces of a Man" (1970) and "Winter in America" (1974). He collaborated with artists such as Brian Jackson, Herbie Hancock, and Miles Davis.
