Hendrix's civil rights song. He was influenced by Martin Luther King a lot. He didn't understand why the black community would burn down their own neighborhoods and riot. You can't change anything through violence. Only through education and learning will anything change.
"He shouts retired and disgusted so we paint red through the sky I said the truth is straight ahead so don't burn yourself instead Try to learn instead of burn, hear what I say, yeah, yeah."
As typical with Jimi, he throws in some science fiction at the end to describe the dead souls departing earth.
Incidently, what a great crying guitar sound on this song!!!
