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