Birmingham 1963 Blue eyed boy on safe ground just like me Can you hear the screams coming over that mountain The sound of supremacy forced on thousands Can we recall When hearts haven't changed at all It regins and rings of fire And genocide is still alive Alive James Bird can you hear me crying White boy in Alabama head down trying To figure out why they might do it to you Three up front prowling like animals soon String him up behind the truck forty miles an hour And run it red so the nigger can feel your white power Can we recall When hearts haven't changed at all It regins and rings of fire Genocide is still alive Alive Soon and there's a west end fire burning The child's eyes are wide watching the barrels turning They stake claim inside of your wife and daughter A bullet in the head for the cover man's honor Can we recall When hearts haven't changed at all It regins and rings of fire And genocide is still alive Can we recall When hearts haven't changed at all It regins and rings of fire And genocide is still alive Still alive Still alive Alive Still alive Still alive Still alive
