Lyrics Lagwagon – Color Blind

Text:

Inside, we all have a heart and a brain
We are all human, we are all the same

After all, you have to blame someone else
It’s a bitch, the cards that you dealt yourself

I cannot lie, it’s clear to me,
The game, they might say the same of you

Open your eyes, it’s all in sight
In color, not just black and white
Them or us, the fight inside, we’re not color blind

They’re not out to get you, are you out of your mind?
Don’t be color blind (color blind, color blind)

Color blind

A bedridden racist, a picture of sadness
A tired old man now leaves his world of madness
The lines of compassion that he would not cross
In an angry mind, he was forever lost
Hiding his confusion with hateful thoughts
Whatever his race, it’s best at any cost
Black and white were all he could see
He died believing he was born to be supreme

Open your eyes, it’s all in color, not just black and white
In you the virtue that hides under the skin inside
You’re not color blind

They’re not out to get you, are you out of you mind?
Don’t be color blind

Well, they achieved segregation and a war growing strong
An unwitting fight that is pathetically wrong
Maybe someday the truth will be clear
They are the problem, not the people they fear
They all will argue of who is supreme

I cannot argue while the truth is plain to see
All these beliefs, angry and extreme, just reflect a hatred of society
