Ain’t That A Thing Sun Kil Moon (Ft. Mark Kozelek & Rhds Schlr)

Sometimes I lay in bed for long, long spells
Thinking of lines in old movies like
"The power of Christ compels you"
Or "You maniacs, you blew it up, Damn you all to Hell!"
And while thinking of the first time I heard those lines as a child
My middle-aged woes are temporarily quelled

Sometimes I lay in bed for long, long spells
Wonderin' who killed those kids in Atlanta
Was it Wayne Williams or some other guy
Or was it the Klu Klux Clan?
Based on what I’ve seen and heard, looked like a cover up scam

Cops coverin' for cops who said they couldn't find the kids
While searchin' a small plot of land
And then the kids were found the very next day when their black neighbors
Took the law into their own hands

Ain't that a thing?
Everyone knows about JonBenét Ramsey
White, blue eyed and blonde
And Nancy Holloway from Alabama
Also white, blue eyed and blonde
But you mention 30 blacks killed in ‘79 through ‘81
Most people say
“never heard of that one”
