matthew mayfield – still alive lyrics
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 n-gg-r can feel your white power
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
