After the Riot
Jesus Christ is a white man
Any blind man can see
I know redemption will
Settle upon me eventually
Hallelujah I found out
I got here just in time
The faces on my money tell me Everything will be fine
Look at that black smoke rising
And all the blood in the street
Here come the National Guard
But I ain't losing no sleep
Blackout in the dance hall
Just when I hit the floor
You say you don't love me mama
Well I heard all that before
The world is mine
I am never alone
The iron in my blood
The calcium in my bones
The chains of this cruel world
Melted down and recast
A bell I can ring with my heart
I am free at last
All the slaves in China
The napalm in Vietnam
A well of misery deeper
Than the Grand Coulee Dam
Every heart full of romance
All the ships out at sea
Sink into the darkness
And you will never be free
The world is mine
My sweet broken home
Won't you take me back?
How can you leave me alone?
The chains of this cruel world
Melted down and recast
A bell I can ring with my heart
I am free at last
The world is mine
I am never alone
The iron in my blood
The calcium in my bones
The chains of this cruel world
Melted down and recast
A bell I can ring with my heart
I am free at last
Free at last
Any blind man can see
I know redemption will
Settle upon me eventually
Hallelujah I found out
I got here just in time
The faces on my money tell me Everything will be fine
Look at that black smoke rising
And all the blood in the street
Here come the National Guard
But I ain't losing no sleep
Blackout in the dance hall
Just when I hit the floor
You say you don't love me mama
Well I heard all that before
The world is mine
I am never alone
The iron in my blood
The calcium in my bones
The chains of this cruel world
Melted down and recast
A bell I can ring with my heart
I am free at last
All the slaves in China
The napalm in Vietnam
A well of misery deeper
Than the Grand Coulee Dam
Every heart full of romance
All the ships out at sea
Sink into the darkness
And you will never be free
The world is mine
My sweet broken home
Won't you take me back?
How can you leave me alone?
The chains of this cruel world
Melted down and recast
A bell I can ring with my heart
I am free at last
The world is mine
I am never alone
The iron in my blood
The calcium in my bones
The chains of this cruel world
Melted down and recast
A bell I can ring with my heart
I am free at last
Free at last
