Phil Collins - Colours Lyrics
Deep inside the borderChildren are cryingFighting for foodHolding their headsBreaking their bread with a stoneAll along the roadsidePeople are standingWatching the sunShielding their eyesBrushing the flies from their faceTell me, what can you sayTell me, who do you blameLike a mirror you see yourselfThese people each have a nameAll around the townshipYoung men are dying(of) hunger and thirstThe well has run dryThe tears from her eye feeds her sonTell me...You can say youre pulling backWe see the pictures everywhereBut what we dont see is whatsGoing on behind the closed doorsAnd you dont seem to careDo you expect me to believe youHow can you really thinkYou can take your horse down to the waterHold a gun at his headAnd make him drinkNo matter what you say, it never gets any betterNo matter what you do, we never see any changePeople living without rightsWithout their dignityHow loud does one man have to shoutTo earn his right to be freeYou can keep your toy soldiersTo segregate the black and whiteBut when the dust settlesAnd the blood stops runningHow do you sleep at night?No matter what you say...What makes you so high and mightyWhat makes you so qualifiedYou can sit there and sayHow many have their freedomBut how many more have diedYou decide to sit in judgementTrying to play God yourselfSomeday soon the buck is gonna stopStop with you and noone elseNo matter...
