John Brown

Can you see a king suspend all disbelief
 Walking through the bad part of town,
 Can you turn the other cheek
 Can you forget that you were chattel
 Bones in our closet always rattle
 Caught in a steel trap
 Memory serves it's never gonna pass
 Old John Brown
 Can we keep from goin' down
 Old John Brown
 Can we keep from goin' down
 A zealous one born too soon
 Could he see his city on a hill ruins
 Caught in a steel trap
 Memory serves it's never gonna pass
 Old John Brown
 Can we keep from goin' down
 Old John Brown
 Can we keep from goin' down
 Can you pray
 Can you take that walk
 From Harper's Ferry to Little Rock
 Caught in a steel trap
 Memory serves it's never gonna pass
 Old John Brown
 Can we keep from goin' down
 Old John Brown
 Can we keep from goin' down.
