Burning crosses in spotless sheets Concerned with the matter at hand. Only in the still of night can they meet This secret society that has been banned. Yet there stand in these once silent woods With their pointed hats and rebel flags. Their intentions supposedly "good" They hide the blood-stained rags. Decisions made with southern drawls Not very much humanity involved They stand by the cross reciting Jim Crow laws In their hatred they are resolved. They pick our victims by sight alone Muttering unintelligible chants and marching 'round. They say its more than just skin tone I've looked, but it's the only reason I've found.
