Angry man wanting justice
the abused woman crying alone
White man beating the black
nobody notices the blue sky dying.

Custer’s men of blue uniform
killing the red savage ones
But custerd is yellow
so much red spilt over the blue.

Green finger man shouting aloud
dirty children picking his roses
Bored of muddy waters
because of the clear coloured glass.

White nose man higher than the sky
so high he’s in black space
As the purple rain falls on the radio
the colours start running.
