Futurevision Lyrics - Adrian Belew

Color futurevision 

Red...for the angry young skinhead 

With a gun stuck down his pants 

And his hands wrapped around a gasoline can 

Blue...for the cruel nude tattoo 

With a dagger slashing a heart in two 

And the words "i'm cool, so screw you", yeah 

I hope we can see there's more than one side 

I know there's no such thing as race, just a human race 

I hope we can see the world is not black and white 

Color futurevision 

Green...for the hatred of the mean people 

And the victims they mistreat who could just as easily 

Be you or me 

Violet...for the violence of a riot 

And the gunfire police siren 

Cars burning and people dying 

I hope we can see there's more than one side 

I know there's no such thing as race, just a human race 

I hope we can see the world is not black and white 

Color futurevision 

Black...for a black man on a black rock 

On a black night when america forgot 

To say "it's alright to be who you are" 

White...for the white robe of jesus christ 

Whose message was each one of us 

Is equal in the eyes of god 

Color futurevision
