Shades of Brown

歌詞

We are called by different colors But it's all just shades of brown to me One color, one race, one love, one face And yet this place is filled with hate and still It's all just shades of brown I see But there's a language and no call to start violence and torture and war 'Cause in the eyes of mothers and children what are we fighting for? It's all for nothing, do do do do It's all for nothing How do we sleep at night while others struggle with all of their might To put a little food on their table Some ain't willing and others ain't able to Spare a dime, what's mine is mine, you're gonna' have to settle for a life of crime So find an unemployment line, and you can stick it where the sun don't shine We're so blind to the cruel cruel world that we live in Everybody's taking, nobody's giving Back to another, we're all the same color, just a different shade And this hate is all for nothing It's all for nothing Oh no, what have I done Told you all the things I've been running from for so long, for so long Blood in our vains, it spills the same And we sit still while millions are killed in vain, all in vain Now tell me do you feel the same as I do Knowing that something aint right inside you But the color of our skin don't show what it's in our heart It's time to start to make a change We can make a change We are called by different colors But it's all just shades of brown to me One color, one race, one love, one face And yet this place is filled with hate and still It's all just shades of brown I see But there's a language and no call to start violence and torture and war 'Cause in the eyes of mothers and children what are we fighting for? It's all for nothing, do do do do It's all for nothing [Transcribed by Drew Chapin on 12/23/2009]
