I went down, took a look around 
I went down to the city 
I went down, took a look around 
What I saw didn't look so pretty 
Down the middle run a railroad track 
One side white and one side black 
One side of town live pretty well 
Other side of town look just like hell 

Oh I begin to thinking
How did it get this way
Then I begin to wondering
How long it's gonna stay 
Time we got to moving
Make it go away 
 
I went down, took a look around 
Walked the streets and alleys 
Saw a nation up in arms 
The marches and the rallies 
Down the boulevard come a white mob 
Sayin them aliens took my job 
Out on the corner were three police 
Upholdin the rich man's peace 
 
Oh I begin to thinking
How did it get this way 
Then I begin to wondering
How long it's gonna stay 
Time we got to moving
Make it go away 
 
Too many people sitting in jail 
Cause they didn't have a dollar 
Ain't nobody ever gonna go their bail 
Makes you wanta scream and holler 
Long as the law brings poverty 
Ain't nobody ever gonna be free 
Every time America's goin to war 
Comin closer to my back door 
 
Oh I begin to thinking
How did it get this way
Then I begin to wondering
How long it's gonna stay 
Time we got to moving
Make it go away
