statehouse - the slackers lyrics

Loading...

took down that confederate flag
down off the statehouse
finally something ain’t that bad (south carolina)
down at the statehouse
a flag that flew for a failed insurrection
down at the statehouse
but in 2015 they made the correction
down at the statehouse

they said they put it up first as a dedication
down at the statehouse
for a hundred years since the confederation
down at the statehouse
but why not a hundred year celebration
down at thе statehouse
for the emanc*p*tion proclamation?
down at thе statehouse
i’m asking…
what can we do? what can we do?
what can we do? what can we do?
what can we do? what can we do?

see, i used to think it was just history
and history’s ok by me
but then i learned the whole story
and now see things clearly
the flag went up in 1961
after a supreme court decision
ending segregation
and beginning integration

civil rights in ’61 was
freedom riders on the bus
and the ku klux klan come to beat them down
while the local cops all turned around

they don’t fly swastikas in germany
no shrines to mussolini in italy
so why it’s ok to see
that confederate flag in front of me?

it must have been a shame to see…
down at the statehouse
if your grandfather was born in slavery
down at the statehouse
now, one family’s history
may be dying for the confederacy
but another family’s history
was being born in slavery

but they finally took that old flag down
down at the statehouse
too long, too long it was hanging around
down at the statehouse
and i don’t wanna see it hanging ‘round
down at the statehouse
they finally took that old flag down!
down at the statehouse

don’t wanna see it hangin’ ‘round…
or on your t*shirt walkin’ ‘round
or on your pickup drivin’ ‘round
don’t wanna see that old flag around

not in your house
not in my house
not in an insurrection in the white house…

what can we do? what can we do?
what can we do? what can we do?
we’re gonna take that old flag down
