all saved freak band - elder white lyrics

Loading...

[verse]
out of the backwoods of the mississippi delta
came elder white to fight for civil rights
was he right?

[verse]
he and sister brown, they went to town
tried to ride a bus, people called it l+st
were they right?

[verse]
out of the swamp of louisiana
came a young man, played gospel piano
he joined elder white to fight for civil rights
was he right?

[verse]
he and sister black, they broke their back
in a sit+down strike, they didn’t believe in force or might
we think they were right

[chorus]
how low can a snake crawl?
can a man mount up any higher?
away to the north i see whole cities on fire
they said peace and love was their only desire
oh, america! oh, america!
i see the seas rolling in on you
while high on the mountaintops
the vultures behold the view
oh, america! oh, america!
remember the one they crucified
his mother was a jew
