Does My Colour Scare You? Lyrics - Singles - The Getaway People

I'm a black man with a gun in my hand, I ain't got no job, no money to spend 

I never meant for things to be like this, but let me tell you man 

It's just the way it is: One of them "have-nots" lookin' for to cover my needs 

I got a family and myself to feed, I never meant to hurt nobody 

But I will if I have to 

The world was going insane, mothers and fathers, hide the pain 

We all want out of this game, crush the pain, we're all to blame 

We claim to be victims, Muslims, Hindus, Jews and Christians 

Create our own fears, hate grows stronger through the years 

Does my colour scare you? 

Does my colour make you nervous 

Confirm all your doubts about my kind? 

Are you so inclined? 

Does my colour scare you? 

I'm a white man with a gun in my hand, I ain't got no job, no money to spend 

I never meant for things to be like this, but let me tell you man 

It's just the way it is: One of them "have-nots" lookin' for to cover my needs 

I got a family and myself to feed, I never meant to hurt nobody 

But I will if I have to 

Whose been feedin' your head? Y'Mama got no more tears to shed 

Probably something was said, I'm driven to the limit instead 

I'm a white man poor man beggarman thief, evidence of your disbelief 

Nobody move nobody gets hurt 

Does my colour scare you? 

Brothers and sisters across the land, you gotta work it out and take a stand 

It's all about love for y'fellow woman, y'fellow man 

There ain't no masterplan
