Charlottesville (Intro) Lyrics

Jesse Dayton Charlottesville (Intro)

[Verse 1]
There's a time
For cryin' and mournin'
Talkin' and scornin'
Son, this ain't the time

[Verse 2]
Well, my grandaddy
He fought them sons-of-bitches
Them Nazis and them snitches
And talkin' ain't what got it done

[Chorus]
We better rise up to the power
This ain't no time for cowards
When the clock strikes a witchin' hour
This ain't no time for cowards, yep

[Verse 3]
Charlottesville
That rally wasn't you
Just a bunch of damn fools
Mad at themselves, ha

[Verse 4]
Say a prayer
For sweet Heather Heyer
She'll never be forgotten
Don' let 'em make ya scared, uh-uh
[Chorus]
We better rise up to the power
This ain't no time for cowards
When the clock strikes a witchin' hour
Lord, this ain't no time for cowards

[Verse 5]
All the lessons
Like "Do unto others"
And "Listen to you Mother"
And "Kindness to strangers"

[Verse 6]
Will our children
Past the color of your skin
And all of our sin
And all of our wrongs, yes they are

[Chorus]
We better rise up to the power
This ain't no time for cowards
When the clock strikes a witchin' hour
This ain't no time for cowards
