John Butler Trio - Colours lyrics

rate me

"Don't call me nigger, whitey"

"Don't call me whitey, nigger"

"Don't call me nigger, whitey"

"Don't call me whitey, nigger"

Why's all the time in this world, we stumble in the night

When all we have to do is get along, we don't need to fight

And in this great beauty, beautiful beauty, beautiful world we live upon

Well say its far too small, far too small for us not to get along

So saying: "why can't we just all get along"

So saying: "why can't we just sing this one song"

So saying: "why can't we just all get along"

Instead of always saying:

"Don't call me nigger, whitey"

"Don't call me whitey, nigger"

"Don't call me nigger, whitey"

"Don't call me whitey, nigger"

Why's all the time in this world, we stumble in the night

When all we have to do is get along, we don't need to fight

And in this great beauty, beautiful beauty, beautiful world we live upon

Well say its far too small, far too small for us not to get along

There's more than just one colour to this big world rainbow

And no colour shines off any brighter

This my son, you should know

You should know
