“Black Diamond” is the sixth song on the Replacements' third album, Let It Be.
It’s a cover of the Kiss song.
Lead singer Paul Westerberg (and presumably, the rest of the band as well) grew up on Kiss and still has a certain nostalgic reverence for the band. But the cover has equally as much to do...
Black Diamond Lyrics
[Intro]
Out on the street for a living
You know it's only begun (ooh ooh ooh)
They've got you under their thumb
[Verse 1]
Out on the street for a living
Gee, it's only begun
Doing everything I can, babe
And now you're under their thumb
[Chorus]
Ooh, black diamond
Ooh, black diamond
[Verse 2]
Out on the street for a country
And it's only a dream
Got other people marching
And it's only a way
[Chorus]
Ooh, black diamond
Ooh, black diamond
[Verse 3]
Out on the street for a living
And it's only begun
Regardless a street or a country
They got you under their thumb
[Chorus]
Ooh, black diamond
Ooh, black diamond
