歌词

[00:04.76] In the state of Mississippi many years ago
[00:09.38] A boy of 14 years got a taste of Southern law
[00:14.68] He saw his friend a hanging and his color was his crime
[00:18.92] And the blood upon his jacket left a brand upon his mind
[00:24.24] Too many martyrs and too many dead
[00:28.92] Too many lies too many empty words were said
[00:33.61] Too many times for too many angry men
[00:38.34] Oh let it never be again
[00:44.49] His name was Medgar Evers and he walked his road alone
[00:48.68] Like Emmett Till and thousands more whose names we'll never know
[00:54.20] They tried to burn his home and they beat him to the ground
[00:58.46] But deep inside they both knew what it took to bring him down
[01:03.69] Too many martyrs and too many dead
[01:08.40] Too many lies too many empty words were said
[01:13.05] Too many times for too many angry men
[01:17.73] Oh let it never be again
[01:23.98] The killer waited by his home hidden by the night
[01:28.18] As Evers stepped out from his car into the rifle sight
[01:33.55] He slowly squeezed the trigger, the bullet left his side
[01:37.93] It struck the heart of every man when Evers fell and died
[01:43.07] Too many martyrs and too many dead
[01:47.74] Too many lies too many empty words were said
[01:52.39] Too many times for too many angry men
[01:57.03] Oh let it never be again
[02:01.78] And they laid him in his grave while the bugle sounded clear
[02:06.65] Laid him in his grave when the victory was near
[02:11.37] While we waited for the future for freedom through the land
[02:15.97] The country gained a killer and the country lost a man
[02:21.15] Too many martyrs and too many dead
[02:25.67] Too many lies too many empty words were said
[02:30.34] Too many times for too many angry men
[02:34.99] Oh let it never be again
[02:39.61] Oh let it never be again
