Mixin’ the Colors Songtext
von Iggy Pop

All across the continents, everywhere a soul is sent
A new mix of the races is takin′ place
It's what Hitler didn′t like, and it makes a pretty sight
Just look at what you see on your MTV

Out on the edges they're mixin' the colors
Some they don′t like it, but me I don′t mind
In every city they're mixing the colors
Different shades for the whole countryside

If you leave the hate alone tonight
Music′s gonna get you home tonight
If you leave the hate alone tonight
Music's gonna get you home tonight

They′re mixin'
They′re mixin'

On the edges of the line, there's a different kind of kind
No one seems to claim for the race war games
′Cause you don′t have to choose sides, it just crucifies your mind
There's a hundred million ways to live your life for yourself


Out on the edges they′re mixin' the colors
Some they don′t like it, but me I don't mind
In every city they′re mixin' the colors
Different shades for the whole countryside
I like the kids with the opened-up faces
I like the kids with the ways of their own

If you leave the hate alone tonight
Music's gonna get you home tonight
If you leave the hate alone tonight
Music′s gonna get you home tonight

Mixin′, mixin'
Mixin′, mixin' the colors

Now a language that sounds new
Comes a-driftin′ next to you
And the music that you hear is changing too
'Cause they′re mixin' the colors
'Cause they′re mixin′ the colors
Baby, the colors
All the colors
