lyrics

The justice system in the USA I can hear the shackles grinding away,
the blue and white stripes and there God fearing ways is enough to make me God for a day.
Tell me boy what have you done tell me boy was it all that fun.
Tell me a story where crime didn't pay as the shackles grind my bones away.
Tell me a story where crime didn't pay.

Thanks for this life I didn't need one anyway
as we smash the rocks on the side of the railway
but I won't be missed loved kissed in a blue moon
because I'm the very shit on your boot.

The innocent men of the USA branded with crime on a stage on a shrine,
innocent don't mean shit as they prey in a generation of pain on others they slay, the officer asks what was his name it's a judgment he says there all the same what of his family what of his name throw away the key and do not complain
the justice system in the USA
