Smokey Sunday, ah you looked so unconcerned

While you watched that B-town burn

Were you blind that day?

Bloody Mayday, when the wild ones did their looting

And your boys came in there shooting

Were you blind that day?

You, safe in your disguise

Who lives behind those eyes

I could swear there's no one there

Were you crying out for the ones who took the fall

When the hangman took them all

Were you blind that day?

You, safe in your disguise

Who lives behind those eyes

I could swear there's no one there

I saw the fireworks on the day your slaves were freed

Without one man fit to lead

Were you blind that day?
