Brian's Song - Lyrics - Fifteen

Went to get the mail today Got a letter from a kid down in Texas Said, " My friend got murdered" "The judge and the jury let the *** get away" Read a statement from Brian's mom Sounded so *** familiar Punk Rock kid tried to feed every one Punk rock kid trying to make a world worth living in What a piece of jurisprudence What a piece of legal brilliance The lawyers used the Mohawk defense When the out casts do a *** (columbine) It's a national tragedy When the outcast gets murdered We say he had it coming Land of the free, your free to kill anyone that people are afraid of Land of the free, your free to kill anyone that people are afraid of We have a history of victim blaming He kills his wife we say she asked for it Black man gets drug to death we say he was in the wrong neighborhood The police shot him down we say he had a history of mental illness And drug abuse Their lives were of no use White-collar conservative businessman Point your plastic finger at me Soon my kind are gonna drop away and die But I'm gonna wave my Freak Flag high.
