Phil Collins - Colours lyrics
[Phil Collins - Colours lyrics]
Deep inside the border children are crying
Fighting for food holding their heads
Breaking their bread with a stone
All along the roadside people are standing
Watching the sun shielding their eyes
Brushing the flies from their face
Tell me, what can you say
Tell me, who do you blame
Like a mirror you see yourself
These people each have a name
All around the township young men are dying
(of) hunger and thirst the well has run dry
The tears from her eye feeds her son
Tell me, what can you say
Tell me, who do you blame
Like a mirror you see yourself
These people each have a name
You can say you're pulling back
We see the pictures everywhere
But what we don't see is what's
Going on behind the closed doors
And you don't seem to care
Do you expect me to believe you
How can you really think
You can take your horse down to the water
Hold a gun at his head and make him drink
No matter what you say
It never gets any better
No matter what you do
We never see any change
People living without rights
Without their dignity
How loud does one man have to shout
To earn his right to be free
You can keep your toy soldiers
To segregate the black and white
But when the dust settles
And the blood stops running
How do you sleep at night?
No matter what you say
It never gets any better
No matter what you do
We never see any change
No matter what you say
It never gets any better
No matter what you do
We never see any change
What makes you so high and mighty
What makes you so qualified
You can sit there and say
How many have their freedom
But how many more have died
You decide to sit in judgement
Trying to play God yourself
Someday soon the buck is gonna stop
Stop with you and no one else
No matter what you say
It never gets any better
No matter what you do
We never see any change
No matter what you say
It never gets any better
No matter what you do
We never see any change
Fighting for food holding their heads
Breaking their bread with a stone
All along the roadside people are standing
Watching the sun shielding their eyes
Brushing the flies from their face
Tell me, what can you say
Tell me, who do you blame
Like a mirror you see yourself
These people each have a name
All around the township young men are dying
(of) hunger and thirst the well has run dry
The tears from her eye feeds her son
Tell me, what can you say
Tell me, who do you blame
Like a mirror you see yourself
These people each have a name
You can say you're pulling back
We see the pictures everywhere
But what we don't see is what's
Going on behind the closed doors
And you don't seem to care
Do you expect me to believe you
How can you really think
You can take your horse down to the water
Hold a gun at his head and make him drink
No matter what you say
It never gets any better
No matter what you do
We never see any change
People living without rights
Without their dignity
How loud does one man have to shout
To earn his right to be free
You can keep your toy soldiers
To segregate the black and white
But when the dust settles
And the blood stops running
How do you sleep at night?
No matter what you say
It never gets any better
No matter what you do
We never see any change
No matter what you say
It never gets any better
No matter what you do
We never see any change
What makes you so high and mighty
What makes you so qualified
You can sit there and say
How many have their freedom
But how many more have died
You decide to sit in judgement
Trying to play God yourself
Someday soon the buck is gonna stop
Stop with you and no one else
No matter what you say
It never gets any better
No matter what you do
We never see any change
No matter what you say
It never gets any better
No matter what you do
We never see any change
