Stone cold rage in the alleyway
Somethin' like I ain't never seen
I been out to California
And to St. Augustine
Somethin's happenin' in the backwoods
An' it's spreadin' out like water
Stone cold rage in the hinterland
Mamma's gonna be a martyr
I ain't sayin' that I don't understand
I ain't sayin' we don't all need to be free
I ain't sayin' that I got some better plan
But I ain't askin' no one to follow me
Stone cold rage in the alleyway
Somethin' like I ain't never seen
I been out to California
And to St. Augustine
Somethin's happenin' in the backwoods
And it's spreadin' out like water
Stone cold rage in the hinterland
Mama's gonna be a martyr
People talkin' 'bout a revolution
People talkin' 'bout takin' it to the streets
Some folks say there's no solution
Some folks ain't waitin' around to see
I ain't sayin' that I don't understand
I ain't sayin' we don't all need to be free
I ain't sayin' I got some better plan
But I ain't askin' nobody to follow me
Stone cold rage in the alleyway
Somethin' like I ain't ever seen
Been out to California
I been to St. Augustine
Somethin's happenin' in the backwoods
And they're spillin' it out like water
Stone cold rage in the hinterland
Mama's gonna be a martyr
Mama's gonna be a martyr
Mama's gonna be a martyr . oh
Stone cold rage ... hey
Mama's gonna be a martyr
