DON'T BURN THAT CROSS

All I heard was a voice on the telephone
Telling me I couldn't stay
You belong to a black man's world
Better start thinking that way
There are many reasons why you should go while the going is good
Your wife and children they are two
Another one is we don't like you

CHORUS
Don't burn that cross on my door
I just couldn't stand it anymore
Where can I go to live in peace
The hooded judges keeping score
No no no no more

The next day saw the start of the trouble
My daughter coming home from school
Was attacked and raped in an alley
Police called but they were cool
They said the man had left no clues behind 
Well none that they could see
We're really sorry that your kid was hurt
Maybe in time she'll forget what was done

CHORUS
Don't burn that cross on my door
The flames lick higher on into the dawn
How can I leave this place I love
The hooded killers keeping score
No no no no more
It's just a week since the start of the violence
I have to sleep by night of day
The other night I heard a scream from my children
I shot a man dead at the gate
My wife is sick, my son is crying everytime the night draws near
The white man dreams of an end to the black
But what the hell does he have to fear

CHORUS
Don't burn that cross on my door
I just couldn't stand it anymore
As I watch all through the night
The hooded killers keeping score
No no no no more

Ku Klux Klan (Repeat)
The Ku Klux Klan, The Ku Klux Klan are breaking down my door
