Colorblind Blues Lyrics

Colorblind Blues Lyrics
(written by: Roger Clyne)

Liberty,
bring on your greasy wings
and your forked tongue
that crooked lullaby you been singin?
promisin? me things I ain?t never gonna see
but I?m hard on your heels -
you keep on runnin? from me
well,
Red boy
White boy
Black boy
We all got the same blues

She?s a fever
that I can?t break
She?s a sharp shell
that I just can?t shake
now I?m up on blocks
I?m tied to the stake
and I?m dreamin? but
I am still awake
Red boy
White boy
Black boy
We all got the same blues
Red boy
White boy
Black boy
We all got the same blues

d*** this dream for tearin? me in two
tyin? me down -
set me free and keep me runnin?
The grip of the fears and the skin that keep us apart
All the tears and the blood in the heart
though we cry and we bleed the same
Red boy
White boy
Black boy
We all got the same blues
Red boy
White boy
Black boy
We all got the same blues
Ain?t it a shame that we all got the same colorblind blues?
She?s a full moon
she?s a brushfire
Come on sweet Sally took her
straight through my wire

Red boy
White boy
Black boy
We all got the same blues
Red boy
White boy
Black boy
Got the color-
blind blues!
Yeah, Red boy
White boy
Black boy
Got the colorblind blues
Yeah, Red boy
Black boy
White boy
We all got the colorblind blues
Yeah, yeah, Red boy
Black boy
White boy
We all got the, the colorblind, the colorblind blues!
Yeah,Yeah
Yeah, Yeah
Yeah-Yeah
Yeah-Yeah Yeah-Yeah
Yeah, Yeah
Yeah, Yeah
Yeah-Yeah
Yeah-Yeah Yeah-Yeah
