- Capo 3rd fret
Take these words
Stick them in your ear
I hope you choke on
All the promises
Plastic lenses seen
Through swollen eyes
I fear in all directions
Broken promises
Red skinned man
Come stay with me today
I agree with all your pain
It's in you
Everything we took away
Can you deal with the strain
Of the white ones ways
Cut my hand
And saw the color fade
Seemed so different
On the outside of the day
And in the brain
Where the colors grey
We're not so different on the inside
We're not so different on the inside
Colored man
Come stay with me today
I agree with all your pain
It's in you
All we took away
Can you deal with the pain of the white ones ways
- bridge -
Don't take this wrong
For me it's hard to comprehend
You've seen it all
And you understand
Tear down the wall
Let the colors fall
And let the future be the end
To the white ones ways
