Still Alive
Birmingham, 1963 A blue-eyed boy on safe ground just like me Can you hear those screams comin' over that mountain? The sound of supremacy forced on thousands
Can we recall When hearts haven't changed at all? When hate reigns in rings of fire, And genocide is still alive
James Byrd, can you hear me cryin'? A white boy in Alabama—head down tryin' To figure out why they might do it to you Three up front, prowlin' like animals do String him up behind the truck, forty miles an hour Run it red so the nigger can feel your white power Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
Can we recall When hearts haven't changed at all? When hate reigns in rings of fire, And genocide is still alive
In Sudan there's a western fire burnin' A child's eyes wide, watchin' barrels turning They'll stake claim inside of your wife and daughter, A bullet in the head for the government's honor
Can we recall When hearts haven't changed at all? When hate reigns in rings of fire, And genocide is still alive [x2]
Is still alive, still alive, still alive
