Krazy Kolors
Rusty colored AXE's cut down green trees
To keep hearts warm when our homes are cold
Butcher knives bloody red from slaughtering cattle
Yes our children now sleep peacefully with their bellies full
Shiny handcuffs send fathers to dark prisons
And it seems to me they make the streets more dirty too
Judges sit in black robes
They slam down wooden hammers
And in the back of his mind he didn't understand it either
A Teacher stands in front of a green chalkboard
She sends a young man to the principles office
And from the classroom through the hall to the office the walls are white
He stops at waterfountain the button is shiny
The stream of water is clear but still he can see it
A little girl is abducted in a white car with a shiny police mirror on it
The tags say Texas Exempt in blue and white
The sun looks down and sees, but I thought sunshine was suppose to be happy orange and yellow
The next day the 10 suspects line up) n front if a window and mirror
These are the two craziest colors, clear and shiny
I don't understand these two colors
A dispatch comes in, we can hear through the speakers
Now we think clearly even though its clearly obvious
We can't see the clear airwaves
A Lieutenant dressed in tan rushes through a tan door
He says I have the greatest news
WE JUST FOUND THE GIRL
Clear tears fall from the eyes of the Father and Mother
Toxins relieve and it washesof their face this cause of grief
Now her comes the little girl running with a pink bow in her hair
Now the sunshine is orange and yellow and this day it makes us happy
