Mike Pinto Shades Of Brown
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 aint 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
