Black Power Salute
(Verse)
1968, USA, a million black models having their day
Mexico city, blood red sky, polite stain here, fists held high
(Pre-Chorus)
Some for justice, rectify
With snipping columns struck their pride
(Chorus)
Took a black power salute
Took a black power salute
Took a black power salute
Take a free to define the truth
(Verse)
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-Chorus)
Some for justice, rectify
With snipping columns struck their pride
(Chorus)
Took a black power salute
Took a black power salute
Took a black power salute
Take a free to define the truth
(Chorus)
Took a black power salute
Took a black power salute
Took a black power salute
Take a free to define the truth
