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
