Times are changing but not in our street
In 88 seconds, in Greensboro
In 88 seconds, in Greensboro
We've seen you, we can see you
88, 88, 88, 88, 88, 88
Under crystal skies, in full day light
In 88 seconds we don't make mistakes
In red and blue, in black and white
You know it, God, you know it
With a big black cross by a tall white house
You know it, God, you know it
88 seconds
In 88 seconds, in Greensboro
88, 88, 88, 88, 88, 88
To a place down south, we won't forget
To be stabbed in the back by a man they met
88 seconds is all it takes
Is all we take, is all we take
We know you oh, yes we have known you
88 seconds in Greensboro
Once we played there like the good times
88 seconds in Greensboro
88, 88, 88, 88, 88, 88
They're heading for a shallow grave
(88 seconds)
