lyrics

Lock and key, systematically stripped of power and cast aside
A human fuckin' being cast down to die
Blind and deaf, so mechanical
Justice? Never question
How they got the power to capture, judge, and kill
Can't call it justice when a rich man never hangs
Can't call it deterrent when it all just stays the same
Can't call it vengeance when it's not the victim's hand
Burning!
Step-by-step, motherfuckin' mission
Illinois 11 outside the governor's mansion
One thing on their mind
Blood for blood? Outdated barbarism
Home of the free? Fuck!
This culture drowns in blood
We call it civilized
Can't call it justice when a rich man never hangs
Can't call it deterrent when it all just stays the same
Can't call it vengeance when it's not the victim's hand
Burning!
A man is not made to burn!
Burning in effigy!
