Prologue: at the dark end of the street
They'd kill me if I told
Negroes every day are being molested
Walking in pride and dignity
There's open season on Negroes now
It was like all of us had been raped
A black woman's body was never hers alone
Sex and civil rights
Power to the ice pick
Epilogue: we all lived in fear for years.
