Colours(Chords)

	        Eb      Cm7    Eb/Bb  Bb
Deep inside the border
 
Cm7          Bb/Db
Children are crying
 
Eb           Fm
Fighting for food
 
Eb/G          Fm7
Holding their heads
 
Gm           Fm        Bb7  Eb5  
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
 
Eb      Fm7           Eb    Ab
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

Tell me...
 
Fm/Eb || Eb
 
Bbm7                       Eb
You can say you're pulling back
 
Bbm7                      Fm
We see the pictures everywhere
 
Eb
But what we don't see is what's
 
         Db/Eb
Going on behind the closed doors
 
    Ab/Eb             Eb
And you don't seem to care

Do you expect me to believe you
How can you really think
You can take your horse down to the water
Hold a gun at his head
And make him drink
 
Db/Eb             Ab/Eb    Eb             Db/Ab
No matter what you say, it never gets any better
No matter what you do, we never see any change

People living without rights
Without their dignity
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...

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 have died

You decide to sit in judgement
Trying to play God yourself
Someday soon the buck is gonna stop
Stop with you and noone else

No matter...
