What Colour is God?
I was thinking about thinking about thinking about thinking I was thinking.
Contemplating situations and the visions blew my mind.
In the gutter I was crawling as the shells just kept on falling all around me.
(Chorus): What colour is God? Why can't you tell me, can't you tell me?
What colour is God? Why can't you tell me, can't you tell me?
What colour is God? Why can't you tell me, can't you tell me?
As the library was burning and the pages kept on turning back in history.
As the doorways they were full of refugees and lonely people staring at me, they were asking of me.
What colour is God?
What colour is God?
What colour is God?
No matter what I say or do, it never looks like making any difference.
Don't keep on looking down at me as if I don't exist as if I'm not here
Don't focus all your anger and resentment that you have,
Don't blame it on me, don't blame it on me.
(Chorus):
Black brother in an open sports car pulled over by suspicious officer,
Uniform man got a nervous partner,
Weapon was pulled from a shoulder holster.
White jogger see the roadside gangsta,
Heart beat just a little bit faster,
Rasta man speaking in the island patois,
Gonna give you the righteous answer.
Why can't you tell me, can't you tell me?
What colour is God?
(Chorus):
No matter what I say or do it never looks like making any difference
Don't focus all your anger and resentment that you have
Don't blame it on me, don't blame it on me
(Chorus):
Please, please, please tell me.
Please, please, please tell me.
What colour is God?
We recommend: Small
As you may understand.
Her mind being bent for rambling
Unto some foreign land,
She dressed herself in sailor's clothes,
Or so it does appear,
And she hired with a captain
To serve him for a year.
Her cheeks they were like roses
And her hair rolled in a curl.
The sailors often smiled and said
He looked just like a girl.
But eating of the captain's biscuit
Her colour did destroy,
And the waist did swell of pretty Nell,
The handsome cabin boy.
'Twas in the bay of Biscay
Our gallant ship did plow.
