The Colorful Ones Lyrics & Tabs by Liquid Jesus
The Colorful Ones
guitar chords lyrics
i exude my happiness
avoid the malice of others
as the riptides of my mind
carry me away
from the shore of my brothers
and as i drift
farther from my home
i watch the life
that i once cherished
just wash away
in a burning eastern sun!
and you ask yourself
how many more times will a man
have to fight for painted freedom
so called freedom
how many more times will a man
have to fight for painted freedom
so called freedom
just to please the colorful ones
and it doesn't seem right
liberty for voracious man's freedom
and the rest of america
just endures
now here comes fun
government street gangs
political persuasion in your own back yard
to keep you in touch
with what they want you to believe
you know-i know it's hard
to listen
they've got you looking to right
and the left is
where you want to be
there's journalist who can spread
your wings
break the backbone of your mind
tv screen burning your heart
and the will to survive
we've got policemen
got your president
try to tell you what to do
you know i don't believe in
any of that shit at all
and you ask yourself
how many more times must man
have to fight for painted freedom
so called freedom
just to please the colorful ones
how many more times
must man
fight
for that so called freedom
just to please
the colorful ones
the colorful ones
and off in the distance
i can hear the children cry
