lyrics

Law of the land, I'll never understand
None written by my hand
I don't speak their language

Born(e) by war
never learned what peace was for
In times when bloodied tides are justified when televised
But rarely reach our shores

There's a snake flag flying under the stars and stripes
Up at the rich man's mansion in a city on a hill tonight
Still it's the poor soul dying under the badged boot
Down in Fruitvale Station, the whole world to look

What's wild is abandoned all for that profit advantage
It's taken for granted, there always must be some collateral damage

Law of the land I'll never understand
None written by my hand, I don't speak their language
Can't read the master's plan I don't speak his language
