Adrian Belew - Futurevision lyrics

Color futurevision Red...for the angry young skinhead With a gun stuck down his pants And his hands wrapped around a gasoline can Blue...for the cruel nude tattoo With a dagger slashing a heart in two And the words "i'm cool, so screw you", yeah I hope we can see there's more than one side I know there's no such thing as race, just a human race I hope we can see the world is not black and white Color futurevision Green...for the hatred of the mean people And the victims they mistreat who could just as easily Be you or me Violet...for the violence of a riot And the gunfire police siren Cars burning and people dying I hope we can see there's more than one side I know there's no such thing as race, just a human race I hope we can see the world is not black and white Color futurevision Black...for a black man on a black rock On a black night when america forgot To say "it's alright to be who you are" White...for the white robe of jesus christ Whose message was each one of us Is equal in the eyes of god Color futurevision
