The right thing to do is always black and white - doing it is the grey area.

We live each day in the American way even when speech is free we ask what can we say
ta change a state of affairs gone too far astray an make another’s tomorrow better than our today
Bobby D. told me about the Hurricane man who had no case based on his face and name
but 30 years from then we're seein' more a tha same
and then the few who knew just how ta play the game were never

Colorblind, colorblind after all this time colorblind what you'd expect ta find in a country that swears that justice must be blind an in a state of emotions runnin' way too high

but they were gone before they got a chance to save

out on the streets where people just don't know no more

-chorus-

Look inside, where children play and colors fade to shades of grey
We live our live with open eyes but maybe someday we can all be blind.
