lirik lagu original cast of love in hate nation - susannah's song
[susannah]
my grandma gave me this yellow ukulele
brought it back from hawaii
summer 1958
four years later
and i’m pretty good at yellow ukulele
now my grandma’s dead
and hawaii is a state
so i thought it might be nice to take a vacation to hawaii
but i could not afford a ticket, so—
but i could not afford a ticket
so i took some pills instead
now my bags are packed
but i ain’t goin’ to hawaii
i’m going to juvie hall
to see about my head
oh, susannah
you’re gonna find a way
oh, susannah
to make it through the day
believe me when i say it’s
gonna be okay, it’s
gonna be okay, hey hey
oh, susannah
you’re gonna—
[dialogue]
and the state of things around here
just worsen by the hour
and by here i mean my bedroom
but america as well
i’m sweet sixteen, but lordy
i feel a little sour
’cause i’m too black to be indifferent
but too yellow to rebel
and in my chest that dread
begins to sprout
i make up songs in my head
to tune it out
and as i feel that lump form in my throat
i just sing myself a lullaby that i wrote
oh, susannah
you’re gonna find a way
oh, susannah
to make it through the day
believe me when i say it’s
gonna be okay, it’s
gonna be okay, hey hey
oh, susannah
you’re gonna find a way
oh, susannah
to make it through the day
believe me when i say it’s
gonna be okay, it’s
gonna be okay-ay-ay
