1
Malcolm, I heard the news today
2
They lynched your grandson in the press
3
They said he took your widow's dress
4
And lit a fire
5
I did not believe what they said
6
It could not be what they had said
7
They said your daughter was depressed
8
And raised a hoodlum
9
What does a blue-eyed devil
10
Care of the situation?
11
Tears are no justification
12
But they flow nonetheless
13
And I'm sorry, Malcolm X
14
So sorry, Malcolm X
15
I'm sorry for the way she died
16
As if her life weren't hard enough
17
I hope that she's there with you now
18
And somehow smiling
19
But can you look down and not weep
20
For those black souls you loved so deep?
21
Could things have turned out differently
22
If you'd been with them?
23
What does a blue-eyed devil
24
Care of the situation?
25
Tears are no justification
26
But they flow nonetheless
27
And I'm sorry, Malcolm X
28
So sorry, Malcolm X
29
Cream in your black coffee was
30
The only form of integration you approved
31
You believed that hearts that bleed
32
Were somehow worse than Klansmen
33
But I know you came to change your mind
34
Perhaps the rainbow should unite
35
The Prince and King would have agreed and
36
That's why they killed you
37
Maybe that's why I sometimes weep
38
The rest of us are so damn weak
39
We need the folks like you to lead
40
To wake our sleeping
41
But who is brave enough these days
42
To take a bullet in the chest
43
We've all been warned too many times
44
Righteousness means death
45
And I'm sorry, Malcolm X
46
So sorry for our mess
