You Should Have Been Down in Mississppi letra

Pardon me, all you people
Who enjoy your peace of mind
You say everybodys equal
Everybody is doing fine.
You shouldve been down in mississippi
In the summer of sixty-four
If you were down in mississippi
You wouldnt say that anymore.
Pardon me, mr.backlash,
You say youre worried about your home
You say were going too far too fast
You say you want to be left alone.
*chorus*
Pardon me, mr.policeman,
Why are you shining up your shield
You say you stand for law and order
You wouldnt do no dirty deals.
*chorus*
Pardon me, mr. soldier,
Why are you marching down the road
You say youre fighting for your future
And the freedoms that you
hold.
*chorus*
Pardon me, mr. president,
You want your place in history
You say youre doing all you can do
To makle all the people free.
*chorus*
Pardon me, all you people
Who enjoy your peace of mind
You say everybodys equal
Everybody is doing fine.
*chorus*
