	Black day in july
	Motor city madness has touched the countryside
	And through the smoke and cinders
	You can hear it far and wide
	The doors are quickly bolted
	And the children locked inside
	Black day in july
	Black day in july
	And the soul of motor city is bared across the land
	As the book of law and order is taken in the hands
	Of the sons of the fathers who were carried to this land
	Black day in july
	Black day in july
	In the streets of motor city is a deadly silent sound
	And the body of a dead youth lies stretched upon the ground
	Upon the filthy pavement
	No reason can be found
	Black day in july
	Black day in july
	Motor city madness has touched the countryside
	And the people rise in anger
	And the streets begin to fill
	And there's gunfire from the rooftops
	And the blood begins to spill
	Black day in july
	In the mansion of the governor
	There's nothing that is known for sure
	The telephone is ringing
	And the pendulum is swinging
	And they wonder how it happened
	And they really know the reason
	And it wasn't just the temperature
	And it wasn't just the season
	Black day in july
	Black day in july
	Motor city's burning and the flames are running wild
	They reflect upon the waters of the river and the lake
	And everyone is listening
	And everyone's awake
	Black day in july
	Black day in july
	The printing press is turning
	And the news is quickly flashed
	And you read your morning paper
	And you sip your cup of tea
	And you wonder just in passing
	Is it him or is it me
	Black day in july
	In the office of the president
	The deed is done the troops are sent
	There's really not much choice you see
	It looks to us like anarchy
	And then the tanks go rolling in
	To patch things up as best they can
	There is no time to hesitate
	The speech is made the dues can wait
	Black day in july
	Black day in july
	The streets of motor city now are quiet and serene
	But the shapes of gutted buildings
	Strike terror to the heart
	And you say how did it happen
	And you say how did it start
	Why can't we all be brothers
	Why can't we live in peace
	But the hands of the have-nots
	Keep falling out of reach
	Black day in july
	Black day in july
	Motor city madness has touched the countryside
	And through the smoke and cinders
	You can hear it far and wide
	The doors are quickly bolted
	And the children locked inside
