Still Burning

It came out as a film for all to see
About the crosses burning down in Mississippi
Screening of the film the truth had died
Mississippi Burning was a load of lies

The agitators came to cause unrest
Stirring up the natives who give their best
Mississippi’s people put their faith in the Klan
Someone didn’t like it so a war began

Mississippi still burning, with a fiery cross
Mississippi still burning, ‘cos the Klan is the boss

The state sent invaders to get the Klan
A couple of traitors took the money and ran
Grassed upon their comrades, to save their own necks
Stuck them all in to clear a desk, yeah

Mississippi still burning, with a fiery cross
Mississippi still burning, ‘cos the Klan is the boss
Mississippi still burning, with a fiery cross
Mississippi still burning, ‘cos the Klan is the boss

As the years went by, the Klan still rise
You can jail people, but you can’t kill pride
In years to come there’ll be more fights
Cos there’ll always be a Klan
While there’s still whites, yeah
