american ethnographers - sundown town lyrics

Loading...

spot the city limit from the tour bus
turns out that welcome sign ain’t for all of us
barney pulls us over and stirs a fuss

then a mob descends, all tempestuous
seems melanin’s been defined obscene
mark the bigotry to concoct this scheme
though my watch does show that it’s time to dream
light a faux sunrise with our gasoline

it’s a sundown town
burn the m+th+rf+cker down
it’s a sundown town
gonna raze it all and salt the ground
it’s a sundown town

well, it’s a reverse lynching in the soft twilight
it’s the smell of justice on a starlit night
we’re an integrated band’s been itchin’ to fight
we’ll give new meaning to the term “white flight”
they got ol’ jim crow and uncle tom
i knock ’em down with a righteous psalm
“separate but equal”, su+ su+ segregation
i’d smite ’em all with a vengeful bomb

how ’bout in your heart at the end of the day?
who do i choose to turn away?
