Spot the city limit from the tour bus
Turns out that welcome sign ain't for all of us
Barney pulls us over and stirs a fuss
Then a mob descends, all tempestuous
Seems melanin's been defined obscene
Mark the bigotry to concoct this scheme
Though my watch does show that it's time to dream
Light a faux sunrise with our gasoline
It's a sundown town
Burn the mother down
It's a sundown town
Gonna raze it all and salt the ground
It's a sundown town
Well, it's a reverse lynching in the soft twilight
It's the smell of justice on a starlit night
We're an integrated band's been itchin' to fight
We'll give new meaning to the term "white flight"
They got ol' Jim Crow and Uncle Tom
I knock 'em down with a righteous psalm
"Separate but equal", su- su- segregation
I'd smite 'em all with a vengeful bomb
It's a sundown town
Burn the mother down
It's a sundown town
Gonna raze it all and salt the ground
It's a sundown town
How 'bout in your heart at the end of the day?
Who do I choose to turn away?
