“Colored By” is a satire of the way American Christianity confuses genuine Christianity with traditions and ideas that have been overlaid on it by the Church itself.
Colored By Lyrics
[Chorus]
You might not recognize
The truth gets colored by wrong things
Bad things do disguise
Afraid you might despise the real thing
The real thing, whoa-oh
The real thing, whoa-oh
The real thing, whoa-oh
[Verse 1]
Down in southern Cal, we don't wear shoes
We lay it way back
When someone with charisma tells me, "Don't wear shoes"
I tell them "Go back
Where did you get that?"
[Chorus]
You might not recognize
The truth gets colored by wrong things
Bad things do disguise
Afraid you might despise the real thing
The real thing, whoa-oh
The real thing, whoa-oh
The real thing, whoa-oh
[Verse 2]
Down in Africa, they beat the drum
They like the big beat
A white man through a P.A. says, "Don't beat that drum"
They tell him, "Go back
Where does it say that?"
[Chorus]
The real thing, whoa-oh
The real thing, whoa-oh
The real thing, whoa-oh
[Verse 3]
Down at the little church, they all wear hats
They feel they're doing right
Over at the big church, well, they hate those hats
It gets them uptight
Now is that right?
[Chorus]
You might not recognize
The truth gets colored by wrong things
Bad things do disguise
Afraid you might despise the real thing
The real thing, whoa-oh
The real thing, whoa-oh
The real thing, whoa-oh
[Outro]
The real thing, whoa-oh
The real thing, whoa-oh
The real thing, whoa-oh
The real thing, whoa-oh
I'm talkin' 'bout the real thing, whoa-oh
I'm talkin' 'bout the real thing, whoa-oh
I'm talkin' 'bout the real thing, whoa-oh
I'm talkin' 'bout the real thing, whoa-oh
I'm talkin' 'bout the real thing, whoa-oh
I'm talkin' 'bout the real thing, whoa-oh
I'm talkin' 'bout the real thing, whoa-oh
I'm talkin' 'bout the real thing, whoa-oh
I'm talkin' 'bout the real thing, whoa-oh
I'm talkin' 'bout the real thing, whoa-oh
I'm talkin' 'bout the real thing, whoa-oh
I'm talkin' 'bout the real thing, whoa-oh
I'm talkin' 'bout the real thing, whoa-oh
I'm talkin' 'bout the real thing, whoa-oh
I'm talkin' 'bout the real thing, whoa-oh
I'm talkin' 'bout the real thing, whoa-oh
I'm talkin' 'bout the real thing, whoa-oh
