Red Is The Color

Red is the color she's dying to wear
Caking on makeup and braiding her hair
Feeling a freedom I can't understand
'Cause I'm a pathetic excuse for a man

Red is the color the foliage turns
Sooner or later it's all gonna burn
Nothing specific I hope to achieve
Cause I'm just a slug in a pile of leaves

[chorus:]
And I'm just a spoke in a wheel
But red is the color I feel
When we awake from this horrible dream
Red is the color we'll see

Red is the color he's taken to heart
Give him a chance and he'll tear you apart
Anger might work but it's people who pay
So I am opposed to his violent ways

Red is the color the animals bleed
When they arrive where this avenue leads
Singing along to a gut-wrenching tune
I'm just a worm in a festering wound

[chorus]
