The white dog of the farm still breeds

She's off her leash

To tear flesh and teach

Bum bum bum

You think you've heard it all before

Well, here's once more

We're all at war

Bum bum bum

Blood in the streets, our eternal river

I know the killer

He counts my silver

Bum bum bum

They ambushed them behind the reeds

These are our seeds

White dog still breeds

Bum bum bum

They say: Buy when there's blood in the streets

Even if the blood is your own

So they employed men far away

To turn against their home

Centuries in the distant mist

But it's not a dream

No, it ain't no dream, it's all too real

How long until

This river of blood congeals?

Bum bum bum

And eulogies poured from the stage

But nothing changed

The dog was caged

Bum bum bum

And white bread artists won't even look at you

When they know it's true

What you gonna do?

Bum bum bum

Thought I heard some woman screaming

And I sat up in my bed

And I went over to the window

And I saw him in the cold street, lying dead

Oh, please tell me, you academics

How do you wake up from a non-dream?

No, it ain't no dream, it’s all too real

How long until

This river of blood congeals?

Bum bum bum

Sent a letter to my congressman

The ku klux klan

From my pierced hands

Bum bum bum

They sent me back an apple phone

A fine-hair comb

And a bell tolled

Bum bum bum

The phone rang once and the line went dead

All blood runs red

White pups still bred

Bum bum bum
