Blood on the streets runs a river of sadness.

Blood in the streets, it's up to my thighs.

The river runs down the leg of the city.

The women are crying red rivers of weeping.

Interlude:

Gsus2  Em          G7                      A7(no3)

       Indians scattered on dawn's highway bleeding,

A7(no3)         Eb                         Csus2    D7sus4

   Ghosts crowd the young child's fragile, eggshell mind.

 

Blood in the streets in the town of New Haven.

Blood stains the roofs and the palm tress of Venice.

Blood in my love in the terrible summer.

Bloody red sun of fantastic L.A.

 

Blood screams her brain as they chop off her fingers.

Blood will be born in the birth of a nation.

Blood is the rose of mysterious union.

 

There's blood in the streets, it's up to my ankles.

There's blood in the streets, it's up to my knees.

There's blood in the street, the town of Chicago.

Blood on the rise, it's followin' me.
