I think color bar is symbolic of white and black peoples.

"Said hey little boy you can't go where the others go 'Cuz you don't look like they do Said hey old man How can you stand to think that way And did you really think about it before you made the rules

He said, son

That's just the way it is Some things will never change That's just the way it is Ah, but dont you believe them"

I believe this is a poor black man talking to his son saying he can't do this or that, but also saying that he really can if he tries..
