There ain't a thing in the world that they can do.
Ya know, the Motor City is burning people,
There ain't a thing that white society can do.
Ma home town burning down to the ground,
Worser than Vietnam.
Let me tell you how it started now ...
It started on 12th & Clairmount that morning.
It made the pig cops all jump & shout,
Ah said, it started on 12th & Clairmount that morning,
It made the pigs in the street freak out.
The fire wagons kept comin', baby,
But the black Panther snipers wouldn't let them put it out, wouldn't let them put it out, wouldn't let them put it out.

Well, just before I go, baby, ???? ,
Firemans on the street, people all around,

I'd just like to strike a match for freedom myself,
I may be a white boy, but I can be bad, too.
Yes, it's true now, yes, it's true now.
