1863 by The Crabs Lyrics
It was back in 1863
Emancipation with no guarantee
All the crackers on the sidelines
They're all just buying their time
At home they're cutting up their sheets
Yeah
It was back in 1963
A hundred years of incivility
You can take down the signs
But that won't change their mind
They built a nation on hypocrisy
Yeah
Ba ba, ba ba ba da
You can take down the signs
But that won't change their mind
You call it culture, I say it's disease
Yeah
Ba ba, ba ba ba da
Emancipation with no guarantee
All the crackers on the sidelines
They're all just buying their time
At home they're cutting up their sheets
Yeah
It was back in 1963
A hundred years of incivility
You can take down the signs
But that won't change their mind
They built a nation on hypocrisy
Yeah
Ba ba, ba ba ba da
You can take down the signs
But that won't change their mind
You call it culture, I say it's disease
Yeah
Ba ba, ba ba ba da
