(“American Justice”)
A F# A F#
I’m walking down the street just a-minding my own
A F# A F#
In a strange town a thousand miles from home
A F# A F#
When I’m searched by the man and he says to me
A F# A F#
That “I am the law” and that’s the way it’s gonna be
B D
It’s called American justice
But we know the truth
A F#
B D
It’s called American justice
But what can we do?
A F# A F#
No matter what’s the truth they’re gonna put you away
A F# A F#
Push you around no matter just what you say
A F# A F#
Even though it seems your only friend is the telephone
B D
It’s called American justice
But we know the truth
A F#
B D
It’s called American justice
But what can we do?
A F# A F#
They’re never wrong only mistaken
A F# A F#
But it don’t replace your rights they have been taken
A F# A F#
They throw the book away you have been forsaken
A F# A F#
For the American justice has just been faking
A F# A F#
If you got not money then you’re just out of luck
A F# A F#
Cause the lawyers and legal aid don’t give a fuck
A F# A F#
That’s why the jails are full of the poor and the black
A F# A F#
And once they get out, you know they end up coming back
B D
It’s called American justice
But we know the truth

It’s called American justice
But what can we do?
