lyrics

THE WRONG SIDE OF TOWN

Born on the wrong side of town,
eyes are watching you all around,
they will hurt you, break you down,
slip a noose across your crown!

They await you by the trees,
run, my boy, now run and flee!
If they catch you, misery,
they will push you to your knees!

Oh they hate you!
Oh they hate you!
Oh your fate´s blue,
crush your head beneath their shoe!

Run, my boy, now run and hide
from their hatred´s rising tide!
Through the cotton fields they glide,
shotgun ready now they ride!

You have dark skin but are whole,
they have shadows on their soul!
Like a beast they´ll make you drown,
you were born on the wrong side of town!

Oh they hate you!
Oh they hate you!
Oh your fate´s blue,
I see blood beneath their shoe!

I have a wish, a single wish:
That you may live, that you may live!
Oh may the Lord protection give!
