Blues for Justice
So they say this is the land of the free
So they say this is the land of the free
If you don't pay your taxes
Just see how free you'll be
Hey Mr Policeman why you following me
Hey Mr Policeman the real crooks are on Wall Street
Now why don't you go do your job and get them
No Justice No Peace
I heard there's a boy shot dead in the street
So I heard there's a boy shot dead in the street
They say if he was wearing a different outfit
Maybe his momma wouldn't grieve
I turn on the news and they say
He looked like a criminal to me
And I say No Justice No Peace
Said I want to go way cross yonder way
Said I gotta get away
Somewhere I can be free
But when I try to leave
Customs always wanna question me
Hey boy where you going?
So they say this is the land of the free
If you don't pay your taxes
Just see how free you'll be
Hey Mr Policeman why you following me
Hey Mr Policeman the real crooks are on Wall Street
Now why don't you go do your job and get them
No Justice No Peace
I heard there's a boy shot dead in the street
So I heard there's a boy shot dead in the street
They say if he was wearing a different outfit
Maybe his momma wouldn't grieve
I turn on the news and they say
He looked like a criminal to me
And I say No Justice No Peace
Said I want to go way cross yonder way
Said I gotta get away
Somewhere I can be free
But when I try to leave
Customs always wanna question me
Hey boy where you going?
