go to jail (card) - fuse lyrics
another classic tale – from a story known too well
young man pleads to the sheet – locked up in a cell
we fail to see the real consequence
stigmatized lives swept into the system
honor mlk – pretend all is okay
400 years of servitude – somehow just washed away
we avert our minds from inescapable truth
wave our freedom – red, white & blue
mass incarceration, underclass / undercaste – permanent exile
poor in prison
self*fulfilling prophеcy; marginalized
poor in prison
promise and peril – unshakеable parallels
new jim crow era
badge – of inferiority; felony record
gives the poor – more prison
perpetuating myth – it’s a reinforcing lie
it’s the hollowest of hopes, laid by cruel and heavy hands
this flawed notion – in the u.s. of a
color*blind justice and equality
you tell them; just open the doors – but, there’s no f*cking doors
just a godd*mn cell – and a forgotten name
with a felony record, you’ve got to check the box
the more things change, the more they stay the same
mass incarceration, underclass / undercaste – permanent exile
poor in prison
self*fulfilling prophecy; marginalized
poor in prison
promise and peril – unshakeable parallels
new jim crow era
badge – of inferiority; felony record
gives the poor – more prison
