violent opposition - deacons for defense lyrics

carrot or stick, there was always a threat
dr king couldn’t have marched without the help of armed men
history has been whitewashed, forgetting anger and aggression
it was fear that brought change not just kindness and comp-ssion
we want to believe that when confronted, the right thing was done
but the suffering was ignored until there were black men with guns
the national guard to protect white society
sent to prevent a race war from happening
concession was forced, legislation a compromise
symbolic gestures but the same hearts and minds
the effectiveness of strikes a temporary endeavour
would soon be replaced by immigrant labor
it took people coming together to form a militia
to exercise self defense from the klan and police
to stand against their genocide and enslavement
a militant threat to the oppressive establishment
