Sixth Line Road

One of the greatest was cut down at the knees

They said it wasn't on purpose

It was done deliberately

Each inch of pavement tells a story of grief

Where the black streets divide the land of the free

Law and order to make their quota

You get knocked down just to get up again

When you are a hero

You don't stay in your own backyard

You take up your arms

And you try to change the guard

That's why the war keeps raging on

That's why the war keeps raging on

If you want it and deserve it

You shouldn't have to beg and plead

If you earn it, you deserve it

So why'd they cut 'em down at the knees

If you want it and deserve it

You shouldn't have to beg or plead

If you earn it, you deserve it

So why'd they cut you down at the knees
