Well time's a rollin' and it just stopped snowing
Well time's a rollin' and it just stopped snowing
Summers unfolding and the circus is in town
Summers unfolding and the circus is in town
I took my family down just to see that big old tent
I took my family down just to see that big old tent
Later on, I went downtown to catch the main event
Later on, I went downtown to catch the main event
Well the story of that day gets kind of foggy
Well the story of that day gets kind of foggy
But they dragged them from the jailhouse late that night
But they dragged them from the jailhouse late that night
And ten thousand people gathered 'neath the streetlight
And ten thousand people gathered 'neath the streetlight
While Clayton Jackson and McGhie were hung to die
While Clayton Jackson and McGhie were hung to die
Well I ain't no racist and I ain't been many places
Well I ain't no racist and I ain't been many places
But I know a bad egg when I see one rolling around
But I know a bad egg when I see one rolling around
Well I guess they must've done it and I'm sure they had it coming
Well I guess they must've done it and I'm sure they had it coming
I guess they should've stayed the hell away from this old town
I guess they should've stayed the hell away from this old town
Well the story of that day gets kind of foggy
Well the story of that day gets kind of foggy
But they dragged them from the jailhouse late that night
But they dragged them from the jailhouse late that night
And ten thousand people gathered 'neath the streetlight
And ten thousand people gathered 'neath the streetlight
While Clayton Jackson and McGhie were hung to die
While Clayton Jackson and McGhie were hung to die
The cameras kept on rolling, ain't nobody stopped the show and
The cameras kept on rolling, ain't nobody stopped the show and
They knelt down on his neck for a 20 dollar check
They knelt down on his neck for a 20 dollar check
News said it's a shame but it's just bad apples in ain't the tree
News said it's a shame but it's just bad apples in ain't the tree
So we stand here doing nothing while they're screaming I can't breathe
So we stand here doing nothing while they're screaming I can't breathe
It's all the same, ain't nothin' changed
It's all the same, ain't nothin' changed
100 years have passed and ain't nobody take the blame
100 years have passed and ain't nobody take the blame
A blue line of silence covers up the violence
A blue line of silence covers up the violence
We've gotta make a change today we can no longer look away
We've gotta make a change today we can no longer look away
Well the story of that day gets kind of foggy
Well the story of that day gets kind of foggy
But they dragged them from the jailhouse late that night

And ten thousand people gathered 'neath the streetlight
