Lyrics to
Colours

This version of Colours was released by John Butler Trio in 1998.

Our Decade Lyrics John Butler Trio profile has all of the Colours lyrics from 1998 and many more songs from the John Butler Trio discography that we have on file.

“Don’t call me nigger, whitey”
“Don’t call me whitey, nigger”
“Don’t call me nigger, whitey”
“Don’t call me whitey, nigger”

Why’s all the time in this world, we stumble in the night
When all we have to do is get along, we don’t need to fight
And in this great beauty, beautiful beauty, beautiful world we live upon
Well say its far too small, far too small for us not to get along

So saying: “why can’t we just all get along”
So saying: “why can’t we just sing this one song”
So saying: “why can’t we just all get along”

Instead of always saying:

“Don’t call me nigger, whitey”
“Don’t call me whitey, nigger”
“Don’t call me nigger, whitey”
“Don’t call me whitey, nigger”

Why’s all the time in this world, we stumble in the night
When all we have to do is get along, we don’t need to fight
And in this great beauty, beautiful beauty, beautiful world we live upon
Well say its far too small, far too small for us not to get along

There’s more than just one colour to this big world rainbow
And no colour shines off any brighter
This my son, you should know
You should know
