[01:49.51]I'ma try to convey but it defies explaining
[01:51.55]Started with folks just crying
[01:53.22]Nothing but broken heart sobs and the shriek of the sirens
[01:55.84]Right at the spot where the blood's still drying
[01:57.96]Then my god I saw it the dead began rising
[02:00.21]I don't know much about science
[02:01.54]But I seen an army of armed men stop and get quiet
[02:03.75]Mist hung low like a prayer from a tyrant
[02:05.85]Sky became black like the stars aren't aligning
[02:07.74]So many years of this violence
[02:09.18]Now we're surrounded by the souls of the dead and defiant
[02:11.93]Saying look what you've done you designed it
[02:13.79]When the bough breaks hear the wraith scream riot
[02:16.57]No more moms and dads crying
[02:17.70]No more arms in the air

[03:38.50]I think America must see
[03:40.89]That riots do not develop out of thin air
[03:43.63]Certain conditions continue to exist in our society
[03:48.65]Which must be condemned as vigorously
[03:52.34]As we condemn riots but in the final analysis
[03:55.94]A riot is the language of the unheard
[03:59.35]Thieves
