Look at me, I look at you
What the $#&@ you gonna do?
I feel boxed in, well, I just wanna fight

Through the problems in the night

Fight (for what you think is right)


Hey, all ye crunchcloths, we all say
Fight for the united way

Fight together, fight as one
Fight forever till we've won


Fight (for what you think is right)
To unite

I'm walking down the street just a-minding my own

In a strange town, a thousand miles from home
When I'm searched by the man, and he says to me
That ?I am the law? and that's the way it's gonna be


It's called American justice
But we know the truth

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


No matter what's the truth, they're gonna put you away
Push you around, no matter just what you say
It's them against you, but you're not just alone

Even though it seems your only friend is the telephone

And it's called American justice

But we know the truth
It's called American justice
But what can we do?


They're never wrong, only mistaken
It don't replace your rights that have been taken

They throw the book away, you've been forsaken
For American justice has just been faking


If you got no money then you're just out of luck
'Cause the lawyers and legal aid, they just don't give a $#&@
That's why the jails are full of the poor and black

And once they get out, you know they end up just going back

It's called American justice

But we know the truth
It's called American justice
But what can we do?


Yeah, what can we do about American Justice?
American Justice
