1
Somewhere between the midnight
2
And the cold and empty dawn
3
I found myself out walking
4
On the streets where I was born
5
And I came upon a stranger
6
Who looked me in the face
7
And asked me what I was doing
8
In this god forsaken place
9
I don't need to be forgiven
10
For something I haven't done
11
Not for wanting my family
12
To find their place in the sun
13
If you keep this pressure on
14
Just don't be surprised
15
If I can't summon up my dignity
16
While you're roughing up my pride
17
There will be a reckoning
18
For the pedlars of hate,
19
Who spread their poison all across this estate
20
And a reckoning too, for the politicians who
21
Left us to this fate
22
There will be a reckoning
23
Just a few days later, a man came to my door
24
To ask me if I thought that
25
This place was worth fighting for
26
And though I recognize his reasons
27
I just could not agree
28
When they told me that my neighbor
29
Would be my enemy
30
I don't need to be forgiven
31
For something I haven't done
32
Not for wanting my family
33
To find their place in the sun
34
If you keep this pressure on
35
Just don't be surprised
36
If I can't summon up my dignity
37
While you're roughing up my pride
38
There will be a reckoning
39
For the pedlars of hate,
40
Who spread their poison all across this estate
41
And a reckoning too, for the politicians who
42
Left us to this fate
43
There will be a reckoning
44
There will be a reckoning
45
There will be a reckoning
46
There will be a reckoning
