《Anne Braden(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] Anne Braden (Album Version) - Flobots
[00:00:00] What Ive realized since is
[00:00:01] That it is a very painful process
[00:00:03] But it is not destructive
[00:00:05] Its the world deliberation
[00:00:07] That what really happened in the '60s
[00:00:09] Was that this country took just the first step
[00:00:11] Toward admittin that it had been wrong on race
[00:00:15] And creativity burst out in all directions
[00:00:18] From the color of the faces in Sunday songs
[00:00:20] To the hatred they raised all the youngsters on
[00:00:22] Once upon a time in this country long ago
[00:00:24] She knew there was somethin wrong
[00:00:26] Because the song said yellow red black and white
[00:00:28] Everyone precious in the path of Christ
[00:00:30] But what about the daughter of the woman cleanin their house
[00:00:32] Wasnt she a child they were singin about
[00:00:34] And if Jesus loves us black and white skin
[00:00:36] Why didn't her white mother invite them in
[00:00:38] When did it become a room for no blacks to step in
[00:00:40] How did she already know not to ask the question
[00:00:42] Left lastin impressions
[00:00:44] Adolescences comforts gone
[00:00:46] She never thought things would ever change
[00:00:48] But she always knew there was somethin wrong
[00:00:50] She always knew there was somethin wrong
[00:00:58] She always knew there was somethin wrong
[00:01:06] Years later she found herself Mississippi bound
[00:01:10] To help stop the legalized lynchin of Mr Willie McGee
[00:01:14] But they couldnt stop it so they thought
[00:01:16] That theyd talk to the governor about what happened and say
[00:01:18] Were tired of bein used as an excuse to kill black men
[00:01:22] But the cops wouldnt let em past
[00:01:24] And these women they struck em as uppity
[00:01:26] So they hauled em all off to jail
[00:01:28] And they called it protective custody
[00:01:30] Then from her cell she heard her jailers grumblin about outsiders
[00:01:34] When she called him out and said she was from the South
[00:01:37] They shouted Why is a nice Southern lady
[00:01:39] Makin trouble for the governor
[00:01:41] She said I guess I'm not your type of lady
[00:01:44] And I guess I'm not your type of Southerner
[00:01:46] But before you call me traitor well its plainest just to say
[00:01:49] I was a child in Mississippi but I'm ashamed of it today
[00:01:54] She always knew there was somethin wrong
[00:02:02] She always knew there was somethin wrong
[00:02:10] She always knew there was somethin wrong
[00:02:18] She always knew there was somethin wrong
[00:02:23] And all of a sudden I realized that I was on the other side
[00:02:26] Imagine the world that youre standin within
[00:02:28] All of your neighbors and family friends
[00:02:30] How would you cope facin the fact
[00:02:31] The flesh on their hands was tainted with sin
[00:02:34] She faced this every day
[00:02:36] In people she saw on a regular basis
[00:02:37] People she loved in several cases
[00:02:39] People she knew were incredibly racist
[00:02:41] It was painful but she never stopped lovin them
[00:02:44] Never stopped callin their names
[00:02:46] And she never stopped bein a Southern woman
[00:02:48] And she never stopped fightin for change
[00:02:50] And she saw that her struggle was in the tradition
[00:02:52] Of ancestors never aware of her
[00:02:53] It continues today the soul of a Southerner
[00:02:56] Born of the other America
[00:02:58] She always knew there was somethin wrong
[00:03:06] She always knew there was somethin wrong
[00:03:13] She always knew there was somethin wrong
[00:03:22] She always knew there was somethin wrong
[00:03:31] What you win in the immediate battles is
[00:03:34] Is little compared to the effort you put into it
[00:03:36] But if you see that as a part
[00:03:38] Of this total movement to build a new world
[00:03:40] You know what cathedral you're buildin
[00:03:42] When you put your stone in
[00:04:02] You do have a choice
[00:04:05] You don't have to be a part of the world of the lynchers
[00:04:10] You can join the other America
[00:04:15] There is an other America
