Attn MOVE Songtext
von Algernon Cadwallader

"Attention, move" the bullhorn sounded
Echoed above the neighbors′ houses
Helicopter blades cut the sky open

This wasn't the first time bullets flying
Fire hoses (violence)
A violent eviction six years prior
Nine arrested, sentenced for a century
FBI surveillance and relentlessly terrorized by
A crooked cop turned mayor, who took it personal

Power and pride were on the line
When they dropped the bomb
Philadelphia, 1985

Flames began to dance from roof to roof
Followed by the camera crews
Authorities refused to have anything to do
With the men, women and children trapped inside


For weeks, police tested explosives
Low level cops came up with a crackpot plan
That no one seem to notice
Or give a damn
Blood on their hands
No one ever charged
No one ever disciplined

Power and pride were on the line
When they dropped the bomb
Philadelphia, 1985

Some black clouds never go away, just hover in place
And change their shape right in front of your face
This is America

Some black clouds never go away, just hover in place
And change their shape right in front of your face
This is America

Some black clouds never go away, just hover in place
