Black Diamond Lyrics

by Kiss

Out on the street for a living


Picture's only begun

Got you under their thumb

Hit it

Out on the streets for a living

Picture's only begun


Your day is sorrow and madness

Got you under their thumb

Whoo, black diamond

Whoo,

About this song

"Black Diamond" is a song by American hard rock band Kiss, written by rhythm guitarist Paul Stanley.

"'Black Diamond' was written almost exactly as it is," he said, "except that the riff wasn't there; Gene [Simmons] brought that part in … It's all about arrangement and embellishment.

That's what you're supposed to do in a band: come in and add something.

But that doesn't mean you wrote the song.
