...KU KLUX KLAN... by Steel Pulse
------------------...............
*from 'Handsworth Revolution' (1978)*
Intro:
(x16)
Verse 1:
Walking along just kicking stones,
Minding my own business.
I come face to face, with my foe;
Dis-guised In violence from head to toe.
Bridge 1:
I holla and I bawl, (Ku Klux Klan),
But dem naw let me go, now.
To let me go was not dem in-tention.
Dem seh one nigger the less;
The better for the show.
Stand strong black skin and take your blow.
Chorus 1:
It's the Ku, the Ku Klux Klan,
Here to stamp out blackman, yah.
It's the Ku, the Ku Klux Klan.
Verse 2:
To be taught a lesson not to walk alone,
I was waiting for the Good Sa-maritan.
But waiting was hopeless; it was all in vain;
The Ku Klux Klan; back again.
Bridge 2:
I holla and I bawl, (Ku Klux Klan),
But dem naw let me go now.
To let me go was not dem in-tention.
Dem seh one nigger the less;
The better for the show.
Stand strong black skin and take your blow.
Chorus 2:
It's the Ku, the Ku Klux Klan,
Rape, lynch, kill and maim;
Things can't remain the same, yah no!
Verse 3:
Blackman do unto the Klan,
As they would do to you;
In this case hate they neighbour.
Those cowards only kill who they fear;
That's why they hide behind,
The hoods and cloaks they wear.
Bridge 3:
I holla and I bawl, (Ku Klux Klan),
But dem naw let me go, now.
Chorus 3:
Ku Klux Klan, oh no, oh no;
Here to stamp out blackman, yah.
Rape, lynch, kill and maim;
Things can't remain the same, yah no!
No, no, no, no...
