Key Lyrics

Wednesday I watched the riot, I seen the cops out on the street

Watched 'em throwin' rocks and stuff and chokin' in the heat

Listened to reports about the whisky passin' 'round

Seen the smoke and fire and the market burnin' down

Watched while everybody on his street would take a turn

To stomp and smash and bash and crash and slash and bust and burn


Hey, you know something people?

I'm not black but there's a whole lots a times I wish I could say I'm not white
