Victim of the Darkness - Allen Toussaint

Victims of the darkness

What will they do

What will they do

Victims of the darkness

What will they do

What will they do

Victims of the darkness

They don’t see the light

Till it’s too late, you know

To put up a fight

But they know there’s something there

That they don’t see

But what to do about

What’s supposed to be, no no

Victims of the darkness

What will they do

What will they do

Victims of the darkness

What will they do

What will they do

Victims of the darkness

They don’t understand

Till both two feet are sunk

Too deep in the sand

But they know there’s something there

That they don’t see

But what is done about

What’s supposed to be

Now there’s a man with a plan

With a pencil in his hand

And he’s strong about it

So he write a song about it

Now there’s a man with a plan

With a pistol in his hand

Is he right about it

Tell me should he fight about it

There’s a man with a plan

With a Bible in his hand

Is he sure about it

What does he know about it

Now there’s another man with a plan

With your future in his hand

Can you live without him

What can you do about him, no no

Victims of the darkness

What will they do

What will they do

Victims of the darkness

What will they do

What will they do

Victims of the darkness

They don’t see the light

Till it’s too late, you know

To put up a fight

But they know there’s something there

That they don’t see

But what is done about

What’s supposed to be

Mercy

Victims of the darkness

What will they do

What will they do

Victims of the darkness

What will they do

What will they do
