Protest Era 


When I was young, my momma told me
If I broke the law
I'd be severely punished but I've
Come to see a flaw.
For those who think I'm wrong I would be
Grateful if you'd find
The time to answer some small questions
Floating in my mind.

Who killed Ronald and Nicole?
That's what I'd like to know.
The cops say it was O.J.
The jury said, "Not so".
And Johnny Cochran smiles as he
Deposits all that dough
So who killed Ronald and Nicole?
I'd really like to know.

84 congressmen driving drunk
Claimed congressional immunity.
What phrase exists for all the simple
Folks like you and me?
Equality is here for all,
Or that's the way they call it.
Appears to me the ones set free
All have the fattest wallets.

Who killed Jon Benet, my friends?
That's what I'd like to know.
The cops think it's the parents.
The rest say "I don't know."
Will there be justice down the road
Or will they let it go?
So who killed Jon Benet, my friends?
Not sure I'll ever know.

They say you can't have God in school.
To do it is a crime,
While criminals plea bargain and
Don't do a day of time.
And criminals will sue you if
You use excessive force
And sue the penal system if
They hate the dinner course.

So what about Milosovitch?
That's what I'd like to know
And all the other sonsabitches
Who raped Kosovo?
Let's not forget Saddam Hussein,
Who slaughtered friend and foe.
So what about their punishment?
I'm sure I'll never know. 

I hope that there's a heaven and
I pray that there's a hell
I hope that there's a judgment day
There at the final bell.
I hope accounts are settled and
All debts made very clear.
I hope it happens there because
It doesn't happen here.
