[Verse 1]
Philadelphia—'78
Shut down MOVE—by police state
Forty-five police storm Powelton Village
Government-sanctioned rape and pillage
Friendly fire kills officer dead
The MOVE nine are framed up instead
One dead cop—one officer's gun
(One) unjust system is yet undone
In spite of efforts dissipated
Until the movement was incinerated

[Verse 2]
May 13th—'85
Eleven people—burned alive
They dropped the bomb after liquid was doused
To smoke out the family and burn up the house
Sights trained on exits, the police wait
A firing squad for those who fight to escape
MOVE fought against exploitation
The state's injustice and their oppression
For these crimes that the city pigs created
The Africas were incinerated
Sentenced to be incinerated
Sentenced to be incinerated
