Lyrics
| A Southern white knight | In the land of the sun |
| In a stone mountain | In the land of the gun |
| The sun is coming down | Under the light of the |
| I don’t know what’s right or wrong | Southern White Knights |
| But I’m leaving this town | |
| It’s burning up my future | Here comes the man |
| It’s burning down my life | The white cloaked clown |
| They’re passing out the gasoline | Here comes the man |
| They’re lighting up the night | He’s coming down down down |
| In the land of the sun | A Southern white knight |
| In the land of the gun | In a stone mountain |
| Under the light of the | Don’t reach for the stars |
| Southern White Knights | Don’t reach for the moon |
| |
Don’t reach for the sky |
| To the sisters and their mothers | Don’t reach for the gun |
| Children of the South | Don’t reach for the torch |
| The white cometh with the fire | Don’t reach for the torch |
| In his mouth | Don’t reach for the gun |
| |
Don’t reach for the gun |
