[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
