Day of Reckoning
[Verse 1]
Brady was a white boy, white boy, white boy
Brady was a white boy
Brady was a white boy, white boy, white boy
Brady was a white boy with everything he needs
Said the lady liked it cause she didn’t close her knees
Brady had a daddy and the judge was a friend
Brady went to college and the lady went to bed
[Chorus]
There ain’t no room underneath our thumb
The day of reckoning has come
There ain’t no room underneath our thumb
The day of reckoning has come
[Verse 2]
Johnny was an officer, officer, officer
Johnny was an officer
Johnny was an officer, officer, officer
Johnny was an officer
Johnny was an officer you never wanna meet
Johnny saw a black man, shot him in the street
Johnny’s great granddaddy hid behind a sheet
Caught himself a black man a' hung him from a tree
[Chorus]
There ain’t no room underneath our thumb
The day of reckoning has come
There ain’t no room underneath our thumb
The day of reckoning has come
[Bridge]
Everyone we’ve silenced is risin' up
They’re tired of the violence, our time is up
This isn’t an opinion, enough’s enough
Everyone we’ve silenced is risin' up, rising up
[Verse 3]
Danny was a rich man, rich man, rich man
Danny was a rich man
Danny was a rich man, rich man, rich man
Danny was a rich man
Danny was a rich man, his daddy was the same
Danny got bored and went to Washington one day
Danny built an army of the worst kinda men
Now he’s in a tower with a dagger in his hand
[Chorus]
There ain’t no room underneath our thumb
The day of reckoning has come
There ain’t no room underneath our thumb
The day of reckoning has come
There ain’t no room underneath our thumb
The day of reckoning has come
There ain’t no room underneath our thumb
The day of reckoning has come
