1960 What? (Edit)
1960 what? 1960 who?
1960 what? 1960 who?
19, hey, the Motor City is burning
That ain't right
1960 what? 1960 who?
1960 what? 1960 who?
19, hey, the Motor City is burning, ya'll
That ain't right
There was a man, voice of the people
Standing on the balcony, of the Loraine Motel
Shots rang out, yes, it was a gun
He was the only one to fall down, ya'll
That ain't right, then his people screamed
Ain't no need for sunlight! (Ain't no need for sunlight)
Ain't no need for moonlight! (Ain't no need for moonlight)
Ain't no need for streetlight (ain't no need for streetlight)
It's burning really bright (real bright)
Some folks say we gonna fight (gonna fight)
'Cause this here thing just ain't right (ain't right)
1960 what? 1960 who?
1960 what? 1960 who?
19, hey, the Motor City is burning, ya'll
Who?
Motor city is burning, ya'll
Great God of mine, the Motor City's burning!
Who? It's burning, mmm
Young man coming out of a liquor store
With three pieces of black liquorice in his hand, ya'll
Mister policeman thought it was a gun, thought he was the one
Shot him down, ya'll, that ain't right
Then his momma screamed!
Ain't no need for sunlight! (Ain't no need for sunlight)
Ain't no need for moonlight! (Ain't no need for moonlight)
Ain't no need for streetlight (ain't no need for streetlight)
'Cause it's burning really bright (real bright)
Some folks say we gonna fight (gonna fight)
'Cause this here thing just ain't right (ain't right)
1960 what? 1960 who?
1960 what? 1960 who?
19, hey, the Motor City is burning

Great God of mine, it is burning

Hey, hey, hey, it's burning, take a seat, it is burning
Hey, hey, mmm
