Black Power Salute Songtext / Lyric

1968, USA, a million black models having their day.

Mexico city, blood red sky, polite stain here, fists held high.



(Pre-)

Some for justice, rectify.

With snipping columns struck their pride.



Took a black power salute,

Took a black power salute,

Took a black power salute,

Take a free to define the truth.






Political protests of a higher time,

For simple rights better be in deny.

Our lives in wait, our end directed,

A revolution, our distant nights.



(Pre-)

Some for justice, rectify.

With snipping columns struck their pride.



Took a black power salute,

Took a black power salute,

Took a black power salute,

Take a free to define the truth.



Took a black power salute,

Took a black power salute,

Took a black power salute,

Take a free to define the truth.
