My Thirty Thousand - Billy Bragg and Wilco[00:00:00]

Paul Robeson hes the man[00:00:00]

That faced the Ku Klux Klan[00:00:03]

On hollow groves golfing ground[00:00:05]

His words come sounding[00:00:08]

And all around him there[00:00:11]

To jump and clap and cheer[00:00:13]

I sent the best the best I had[00:00:16]

My thirty thousand[00:00:18]

Well The Klansman leader said[00:00:21]

That Paul would lose his head[00:00:24]

When thirty five thousand vets[00:00:27]

Broke up that concert[00:00:29]

But less than four thousand came[00:00:32]

To side with the Klan[00:00:35]

But around Pauls lonesome oak[00:00:37]

My thirty thousand[00:00:40]

A beersoaked brassy band[00:00:43]

Did snortle round the grounds[00:00:45]

Four hundred noblest souls[00:00:48]

Westchesters manhood[00:00:50]

And they looked exactly like[00:00:53]

The fleas on a tigers back[00:00:56]

Lost fish in the waters of[00:00:58]

My thirty thousand[00:01:00]

When Paul had sung and gone[00:01:24]

And the kids and babies home[00:01:27]

Cops came with guns and clubs[00:01:29]

And they clubbed and beat 'em[00:01:31]

Well I'd hate to be a cop[00:01:34]

Caught with a bloody stick[00:01:37]

'Cause you can't bash the brains[00:01:39]

Out of thirty thousand[00:01:41]

Each eye you tried to gouge[00:01:44]

Each skull you tried to crack[00:01:47]

Has a thousand thousand friends[00:01:49]

Around this green grass[00:01:51]

If you furnish the skull someday[00:01:54]

I'll pass out the clubs and guns[00:01:57]

To the billion hands that love[00:02:00]

My thirty thousand[00:02:02]

Each wrinkle on your face[00:02:05]

I know it at a glance[00:02:07]

You cannot run and hide[00:02:10]

Nor duck nor dodge them[00:02:12]

And your carcass and your deeds[00:02:15]

Will fertilize the seeds[00:02:18]

Of the men that stood to guard[00:02:20]

My thirty thousand[00:02:22]

Of the men that stood to guard[00:02:25]

My thirty thousand[00:02:27]
