    Flobots - Anne Braden
    LRC by lzh ,from jiangxi pingxiang

    From the color of the faces in Sunday songs
    To the hatred they raised all the youngsters on
    Once upon in this country long ago
    She knew there was something wrong
    Because the song said "Yellow, Red, Black, and White"
    Everyone precious in the path of Christ
    But what about the daughter of the woman cleaning their house?
    Wasn't she a child they were singing about?
    And if Jesus loves us, black and white skin
    Why didn't her white mother invite them in?
    When did it become a room for no blacks to step in?
    How did she already know not the ask the question?
    Left lasting impressions, adolescence comforts gone
    She never thought things would ever change but
    She always knew there was something wrong
    She always knew there was something wrong
    She always knew there was something wrong
    Years later she found herself
    Mississippi bound to help
    Stop the legalized lynching of
    Mr. Willy McGee
    But they couldn't stop it
    So they thought that they'd talk to the governor about what happened
    And say "We're tired of being used as an excuse to kill black men"
    But the cops wouldn't let 'em past and
    These women they struck 'em as uppity
    So they hauled them all off to jail
    And they called it protective custody
    And from her cell she heard her jailors grumblin' about outsiders
    When she called them out and said she was from the South they shouted:
    "Why is a nice southern lady makin' trouble for the governor?"
    She said "I guess I'm not your type of lady,
    and I guess I'm not your type of Southerner
    But before you call me traitor, well its plainest just to say
    I was a child in Mississippi but I'm ashamed of it today."
    She always knew there was something wrong
    She always knew there was something wrong
    She always knew there was something wrong
    She always knew there was something wrong
    Imagine the world that you're standing within
    All of your neighbors, your family friends
    How would you cope facing the fact
    The flesh on their hands was tainted with sin?
    She faced this every day
    People she saw on a regular basis
    People she loved in several cases
    People she knew were incredibly racist
    It was painful, but she never stopped lovin' them
    Never stopped calling their names
    And she never stopped being a Southern Woman
    And she never stopped fighting for change
    And she saw that her struggle was in the tradition of ancestors never aware of her
    It continues today, the soul of a Southerner
    Born of the Other America
    She always knew there was something wrong
    She always knew there was something wrong
    She always knew there was something wrong
    She always knew there was something wrong
