Colours Lyrics - ...but Seriously - Phil Collins

Deep inside the border 

Children are crying 

Fighting for food 

Holding their heads 

Breaking their bread with a stone 

All along the roadside 

People are standing 

Watching the sun 

Shielding their eyes 

Brushing the flies from their face 

Tell me, what can you say? 

Tell me, who do you blame? 

Like a mirror you see yourself 

These people each have a name

All around the township 

Young men are dying 

Of hunger and thirst 

The well has run dry 

The tears from her eye feeds her son 

Now tell me, what can you say? 

Tell me, who do you blame? 

Like a mirror you see yourself 

These people each have a name 

You can say you're pulling back 

We see the pictures everywhere 

But what we don't see is 

What's going on behind the closed doors 

You don't seem to care 

Photos 

Do you expect me to believe you? 

How can you really think? 

But you can take your horse down to the water 

Hold a gun at his head 

And make him drink 

No matter what you say 

(No matter what you say) 

It never gets any better 

No matter what you do 

(No matter what you do) 

We never see any change 

People living without rights 

Without their dignity 

But how loud does one man have to shout 

To earn his right to be free? 

You can keep your toy soldiers 

To segregate the black and white 

But when the dust settles 

And the blood stops running 

How do you sleep at night? 

No matter what you say 

(No matter what you say) 

It never gets any better 

No matter what you do 

(No matter what you do) 

We never see any change 

No matter what you say 

(No matter what you say) 

It never gets any better 

No matter what you do 

(No matter what you do) 

We never see any change 

What makes you so high and mighty? 

What makes you so qualified? 

You can sit there and say 

How many have their freedom? 

But how many more died? 

You decide to sit in judgement 

Trying to play God yourself 

Ooh but someday soon the buck is gonna stop 

Stop with you and no one else 

No matter what you say 

(No matter what you say) 

It never gets any better 

No matter what you do 

(No matter what you do) 

We never see any change 

No matter what you say 

(No matter what you say) 

It never gets any better 

No matter what you do 

(No matter what you do) 

We never see any change
