lyrics

He's a real colour changer.
His mother and father
Taught him to be calmer,
But he lost his way - so they say.

Puts race second,
The white people beckoned.
So he made his choice:
Got rid of his black voice.

He's gonna be a big man
In charge of everyone.
But what about the loved ones?
Will they be forgotten?

He's a real colour changer.
His mother and father
Taught him to be calmer,
But he lost his way so they say.

He grew to power quite fast,
That self-confessed half-caste.
But which half did he choose?
And which half did he lose?

He's a real colour changer,
Lost his mother and father.
He couldn't go further,
So he went to Amerika.

He's a real colour changer.
His mother and father
Taught him to be calmer,
But he lost his way so they say.
