IN OUR LIFETIME

(anyone want to put this to music?)
IN OUR LIFETIME
“Jim Crow must go”
Another life on the line
Medgar Evers shot down
just a sign of the times
“You cannot say
Dallas doesn’t love you”, Nell said to JFK
just before it allowed him
to get blown right away
“In our lifetime”
Earl Warren did say
“We may not know the whole story”
But if not now, when...
And who’ll be the next to pay?
A fight broke out
In a ballroom in Upper Manhattan;
Malcolm X-d in the chest
Now here come the cops and their batons
A shot split the sky
at the Lorraine Motel,
April 4, ‘68
Hoover was happy as hell
“In our lifetime”
Earl Warren did say
“We may not know the whole story”
But if not now, when...
And who’ll be the next to pay?
In a crowded kitchen passage
After a primary win;
The future once bright,
was now looking dim
Release the files!
We must rally the call
We demand the whole story
And we’re going to make sure
You give us the truth
and no more stonewalls
