about

Inspired by 'The New Jim Crow' by Michelle Alexander, and the live performance of AJJ.

lyrics

the systems that we live in are so off balance
poverty right next to the federal palace
people on the street struggle most of their lives
the wealthy, sheltered one-percenters eat all the pie, so
TAX THE RICH, FEED THE POOR, HEAL THE WORLD.

nuclear weapons are the currency
of a dangerous game played with society
political pawns pushing us over the tipping point
lip service and promises are null and void, so
TAX THE RICH, FEED THE POOR, HEAL THE WORLD.

police are the henchmen of the new jim crow,
and the new jim crow is the prison cell
slavery still legal in the land of the thief
freedom is an idea that's hard to believe, so
TAX THE RICH, FEED THE POOR, HEAL THE WORLD

the systems that we live in are so off balance
poverty right next to the federal palace
people living on the street struggle most of their lives
the wealthy, sheltered one-percenters eat all the pie, so
TAX THE RICH, FEED THE POOR, HEAL THE WORLD.

nuclear weapons are the currency
of a dangerous game played with society
political pawns pushing us over the tipping point
lip service and promises are null and void, so
TAX THE RICH, FEED THE POOR, HEAL THE WORLD.

police are the henchmen of the new jim crow,
and the new jim crow is the prison cell
police are the henchmen of the new jim crow,
and the new jim crow is the prison cell
police are the henchmen of the new jim crow,
and the new jim crow is the prison cell
slavery still legal in the land of the thief
freedom isn't free until we ALL are free, so
TAX THE RICH, FEED THE POOR, HEAL THE WORLD
