Shades of Brown

We are called by different colors
 But it's all just shades of brown to me
 One color, one race, one love, one face
 And yet this place is filled with hate and still
 It's all just shades of brown I see
 But there's a language and no call to start violence and torture and war
 'Cause in the eyes of mothers and children what are we fighting for?
 It's all for nothing, do do do do
 It's all for nothing
 How do we sleep at night while others struggle with all of their might
 To put a little food on their table
 Some ain't willing and others ain't able to
 Spare a dime, what's mine is mine, you're gonna' have to settle for a life of crime
 So find an unemployment line, and you can stick it where the sun don't shine
 We're so blind to the cruel cruel world that we live in
 Everybody's taking, nobody's giving
 Back to another, we're all the same color, just a different shade
 And this hate is all for nothing
 It's all for nothing
 Oh no, what have I done
 Told you all the things I've been running from for so long, for so long
 Blood in our vains, it spills the same
 And we sit still while millions are killed in vain, all in vain
 Now tell me do you feel the same as I do
 Knowing that something aint right inside you
 But the color of our skin don't show what it's in our heart
 It's time to start to make a change
 We can make a change
 We are called by different colors
 But it's all just shades of brown to me
 One color, one race, one love, one face
 And yet this place is filled with hate and still
 It's all just shades of brown I see
 But there's a language and no call to start violence and torture and war
 'Cause in the eyes of mothers and children what are we fighting for?
 It's all for nothing, do do do do
 It's all for nothing
