The blues is the truth...
...in the tradition of the deep south we sing out our pain through the blues and hope our voice will be heard. NO JUSTICE NO PEACE!!!
lyrics
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 mister police man!
Why you following me?
Hey mister police man!
The real crooks are on wall street!
I say...
NO JUSTICE NO PEACE
I heard theres a boy shot dead in the street
so I heard theres a boy shot dead in the street
They say if he was wearing a different out fit
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 got to get away somewhere I can be free
uh...but when I try to leave
customs always want to question me...
hey boy where u going?
