Lyrics
Laramie
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There's a burning cross on a hillside.
Still bright after all these years.
And you want to just smile and ignore it, but I hear your fucking fear.
I don't believe that anything's changed, at least not for the better.
I don't believe that anything's changed, and nothing's getting better.
Dead words from a different time still can boil blood, still have the power to crucify on a fence in America.
And the words you say are still smoldering. And those crosses are still burning.
