[00:04.02]	Black day in july
[00:07.38]	Motor city madness has touched the countryside
[00:12.90]	And through the smoke and cinders
[00:14.61]	You can hear it far and wide
[00:17.22]	The doors are quickly bolted
[00:19.08]	And the children locked inside
[00:22.92]	Black day in july
[00:26.19]	Black day in july
[00:29.13]	And the soul of motor city is bared across the land
[00:34.65]	As the book of law and order is taken in the hands
[00:38.91]	Of the sons of the fathers who were carried to this land
[00:45.18]	Black day in july
[00:48.21]	Black day in july
[00:51.15]	In the streets of motor city is a deadly silent sound
[00:56.64]	And the body of a dead youth lies stretched upon the ground
[01:01.17]	Upon the filthy pavement
[01:03.18]	No reason can be found
[01:04.74]	Black day in july
[01:10.11]	Black day in july
[01:13.29]	Motor city madness has touched the countryside
[01:18.51]	And the people rise in anger
[01:20.55]	And the streets begin to fill
[01:22.68]	And there's gunfire from the rooftops
[01:25.11]	And the blood begins to spill
[01:28.68]	Black day in july
[01:33.72]	In the mansion of the governor
[01:36.00]	There's nothing that is known for sure
[01:38.37]	The telephone is ringing
[01:40.17]	And the pendulum is swinging
[01:42.33]	And they wonder how it happened
[01:44.55]	And they really know the reason
[01:46.83]	And it wasn't just the temperature
[01:49.02]	And it wasn't just the season
[01:52.59]	Black day in july
[01:56.88]	Black day in july
[02:00.09]	Motor city's burning and the flames are running wild
[02:05.04]	They reflect upon the waters of the river and the lake
[02:09.69]	And everyone is listening
[02:11.88]	And everyone's awake
[02:15.33]	Black day in july
[02:18.51]	Black day in july
[02:21.57]	The printing press is turning
[02:23.34]	And the news is quickly flashed
[02:26.79]	And you read your morning paper
[02:28.83]	And you sip your cup of tea
[02:30.96]	And you wonder just in passing
[02:33.09]	Is it him or is it me
[02:36.84]	Black day in july
[02:42.93]	In the office of the president
[02:45.27]	The deed is done the troops are sent
[02:47.52]	There's really not much choice you see
[02:49.62]	It looks to us like anarchy
[02:51.87]	And then the tanks go rolling in
[02:53.82]	To patch things up as best they can
[02:55.98]	There is no time to hesitate
[02:58.20]	The speech is made the dues can wait
[03:01.62]	Black day in july
[03:05.94]	Black day in july
[03:09.30]	The streets of motor city now are quiet and serene
[03:14.25]	But the shapes of gutted buildings
[03:16.32]	Strike terror to the heart
[03:18.48]	And you say how did it happen
[03:20.61]	And you say how did it start
[03:22.92]	Why can't we all be brothers
[03:24.99]	Why can't we live in peace
[03:27.00]	But the hands of the have-nots
[03:29.34]	Keep falling out of reach
[03:32.88]	Black day in july
[03:38.28]	Black day in july
[03:41.46]	Motor city madness has touched the countryside
[03:46.56]	And through the smoke and cinders
[03:48.54]	You can hear it far and wide
[03:51.00]	The doors are quickly bolted
[03:52.89]	And the children locked inside
