Colourblind - Glen Raphael

Red means stop
Green means go
Yellow's always something in between
I saw the signals; I see the signs
Never knowing what they mean
Ask my policeman
Ask my judge
Write me a ticket or give some other nudge
But look a little closer and you'll find...
I'm just colourblind

We send the soldiers on their way
They've got the orders to kill another day
Some insurrection, fields of war
Never knowing nothing of the thing we're fighting for
It's been a problem
It's a curse
Things we said are getting better always getting worse
Still, I wouldn't say that we're unkind...
We're just colourblind

[Bridge}:
Sometimes our perception is askew
What I see is not the same
As knowing what is true

So if I snub you when you go
It's not intended; I probably didn't know
Call me a moron, call me rude
The one I think I wanted now is with some other dude
That's not your problem
Not your play
We were making colors in a wholly different way
I guess I let her think I didn't mind...
I was colourblind
