KKK Song

No longer is the Ku Klux Klan the pariah it used to be, but it’s been replaced by countless even more dangerous organizations (if that’s possible). I never sang this song in concert.
Riding on horses, white hoods in the air
They ride through the country spreading panic and despair.
Their history is long, bloody as a war
If you care for genocide, they've tried it all before
They keep the races separate, say they treat all men the same
But why then are black men subject to the flame
Black folks won't be free till they're free from the Klan
And for those who love justice, beside them we will stand
You bring up your children in the heritage of the Klan
And when they're accused of murder, beside them you stand
If they have to die for what you have believed
You'll never have to tell them how much they'd been deceived
For all the racist murders the clan has made
It was all for white America, a spade is just a spade
So be careful what you do if your color is your crime
They may need to sacrifice you, we hope that you don't mind
For America must be strong for all its white beliefs
Black folks are in the way, besides they're on relief
So help the Klan to burn a cross today
You wouldn't want your daughter to be a black man's prey
For all the misery you've brought to decent folks
And for the devil's work you've sought so to provoke
There's a special kind of hell waiting for the Klan
Where they are treated as they've treated other men
And the seeds they have sown
So shall they reap
