Morrissey's End Credits Song from "Green Book"
I decided to rewatch GREEN BOOK this morning to see if I could figure out why it won Best Picture, and... I guess the Academy just really loved Morrissey's end credits song? https://twitter.com/electrolemon/status/1100209461526814720 https://electrolemon.bandcamp.com/track/morrisseys-end-credits-theme-from-green-book LYRICS: I’ve lived a normal life for 30-something years And hated on the blacks until today I saw two black construction workers drink from water glasses So I threw the glasses both away But then a Negro man paid me for a job To drive him through the south and to protect him And that’s when all my prejudices changed Thanks to the– Green Book Perspective is the key I simply had to meet some people more racist than me With the Green Book Oh, the Green Book led the way There’s nothing wrong with being proud of who you are For me, that’s born and bred Italiano (Mamma mia! Pizza pie!) But don’t forget that other people have their value too Like did you know that blacks can play piano? The green book’s a collection of the places to avoid if you are black and you are traveling in the south But if you were to ask me, I would stand and proudly say The real Green Book’s the racism we cured along the way God bless the Green Book Racism’s easy to defeat Just drive a black across the south and force him to eat KFC The Green Book You can be sure that in the end My tolerance will spread to all my family and my friends, somehow oh the Green Book I’m now a better man I used to hate the blacks, but now, consider me a fan Thanks to the green book, oh the green book I’m no longer racist, we can be friends I’m no longer racist, we can be friends I’m no longer racist, so now we are friends I stopped being racist, and now the black man is my friend
