Ballad of Dena and Andrea (Outro)

So now what should we do with all of these humans
Who serve their time and sentences will we forgive them, when

In the case of Dena & Andrea, with you I will plead
To see that oppression and misogyny planted a seed

In a bed of ignored maladies it was bound to grow
A tortured mind will bend to make odd realities so

How can we ever move forward if we can't look back and see
When we lock away our people and throw away the key

If learning from our mistakes is a mantra that we got
These two womens' stories could teach us all a whole lot

It takes a village and that means so much more
Than a mob with pitchforks at every door

I am not just what I done or what was done to me
It's what we do with what comes next that can make us truly free
