American justice
|
Is a contrary phrase
|
When a criminal is sentenced
|
But the innocent pays
|
The guilty are pampered
|
Their rights protected
|
While the victim gets life
|
And is left neglected
|
Who makes the laws?
|
Who fills the jails?
|
Who breaks the laws?
|
And who holds the scales?
|
An innocent man
|
Convicted of a crime
|
He was black and poor
|
At the wrong time
|
It's not a mistake
|
It's not judicial error
|
It's simply a system that don't care
|
As long as justice and mercy
|
Are held in the hands of mere men
|
In this twisted land
|
Guilty or innocent
|
Is what it 's not about
|
Just who has the money
|
Or who has the clout
|
