Cakewalk

from Double Exposure by Angry Saints

lyrics

Cakewalk, cakewalk, an innocent crime?
Ho ho, looking so so white and anodyne
Dressed up, dolled up, high kicking, so refined
Some folks, some folks call this a better time

High hat, high step, big joke

Hollywood, Hollywood, the golden age
What is missing from this page?
Pushed out, locked out, erased from centre stage
Leave it for the birds in the gilded cage

Whitewash, blackface, no face

They sold you down the river
But you swam back up to the fountain
There is no highest bidder
Tell it on a mountain

Two steps back, two steps back, one to the side
You got your pride to keep you fortified
Tick tock, ding dong, do you have to tell them the time?
So long to keep your eyes on the prize

Freedom ride, overcome, I’m a man

Don’t move a muscle, don’t make a sound
You have no right to fight and stand your ground
Hands on the wheel while hounds surround
Bound and drowned on the merry-go-round

Can’t breathe, black lives, still a man

Spent all my life looking up to you
Look what they’ve done to you
You don’t believe in grudges, do you?
Hallelujah!
