Will you walk us uptown?
And wherever you go
You know we will follow

Will you walk us uptown?
And we'll stand in the light
Of your new killing ground

And we won't make a sound
Except to sing our sorrow
Will you walk us uptown?


While our tears run in torrents
To suffer in silence or pray for some solace

Will you wash away our sins
In the cross-fire and cross-currents
As you uncross your fingers

And take out some insurance

No matter what the price

It's your own paradise
Will you walk us uptown
Will you walk us uptown


Some hearts are sinking
And some hearts are flutter

Some scoop gold from the dirt in the gutter
Or swallow the earth
Pouring into your mouth

As they bury us upright saying
Everything's alright


Will you walk us uptown
Like some said that you could
We will feast on your flesh

And drink down your blood
Will you haul down that flag
And dishonor that vow

Cause we must not change
It's color now
Will you walk us uptown


No matter what the price
Each crushed in the corner of their own paradise

Will you walk us uptown
Will you walk us uptown


That's always $$#uming
That you're partly divine and partly human
You're the king of our hearts

You're the clown with the drum
Will you walk us uptown
If we promise not to run

Will you walk us uptown
Will you gather us near
As cowards flee and traitors sneer

Keep a red flag flying
Keep a blue flag as well
And a white flag in case it all goes to hell
