Mike Pinto - Shades Of Brown lyrics
[Mike Pinto - Shades Of Brown lyrics]
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 ain't 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
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 ain't right inside you
But the color of our skin don't
Show what it's in our heart

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
