Alice Childress
Some summers in the evening after 6 or so
I walk on down the hill
And maybe buy a beer
I think about my friends
Sometimes I wish they lived out here
But they wouldn’t dig this town
No they wouldn’t dig this town
Alice, the world is full of ugly things that you can’t change
Pretend it’s not that way
That’s my idea of faith
You can blow it off
And say there’s good in nearly everyone
Just give them all a chance
Now let’s give them all a chance
Thank God it’s you
Y’know, your timing is impeccable
I’m not fooling you
I don’t know what to do
