The idiots and fools cheer the fight
for morals and justice in bloody hands
Calling for the closure their lives are hypocrite,
ignorant where their just ax lands
Suppressed evidence, a jury of intents, the DA is drunk,
this case is past tense
I know just us is your justice
The sin is in the pull of your hand (pull of the switch)
As Stern says they're all guilty of something anyway,
fry 'em, poke 'em, it's his joke for the day
But no one in solitary gives two shits of what
Hollywood money has got to say
They get one hour of daylight, and 23 to ponder
appeals of truth thrown away
With half the facts, half a brain,
anyone knows the scales lie for class and race
You can count on one hand the rich that get mandatory
or ever get the chair to face
And a 20 to 60 split on a kiss to lily-white
angels verses the dark kids.
It's not just the drug war, as some progressive and even judges are finally admitting. It's a vicious economic system and corporate media inspired hysteria that create a free reign police state crackdown and brutal prison system. It's a society that punishes people for being poor. It's the cops ramming a latino or black kid up against the wall for wearing a certain jacket. It's the upper class voting and paying for media hype that passes mandatory sentencing laws. It's penitentiaries that are only one step above cattle factory farming. And now They have prisoners doing your jobs for pennies an hour. The last line is a reference to documented research about how first time offenders get mandatory sentencing depending on their color... it's all up to the prosecutor... a political appointment by the way. Read Scapegoat Generation... an amazing treatise on how the politicians can ignore and manipulate their own gov't agency figures. It is class war; they wage it against us and we aren't fighting back strong enough...
