booda velvets - american lyrics
i took a stroll on a sat-rday night-t was the first
spring of a new millennium
the city was feverish
flush with cold war successes
and stock market excesses
and i could feel it in the air
i was at the very center
of a new civilization
so i walked a little taller and i walked proud
because i’m an american
suddenly swept by a crowd
they were chanting with one voice
in protest of what they saw was wrong
that’s when the cops moved in
and the hammer came down
and i heard the thud
of nightsticks meeting skulls
and i saw the blood in pools on the asphalt
and i felt the outrage
that swelled through the crowd
but i stood my crowd
because i’m an american
what would you do
would you hide behind your white skin
while the men in blue
shoot innocents at random
