The missle sent today killed only 3
The rest were saved, they're far enough away
To not really feel the direct effect on me

They caught him today
Based ridicuolusly on his race
They weren't sure he even did it
But they needed a random face

Chorus
All these symptoms, symptoms of a simpler cause
I've had moments in my life when I've contributed by believing we are
Seperate, we are seperate
Dissconnected in this unity

He won today, smug self-satisfaction on his face
He blew the others out of the water
He said and was glad they were disgraced

Chorus

He stole what he could
He only had minutes before he'd be caught
He justified every penny taken by blaming the gap between the rich and rich not

Chorus

    It\'s about how blind the police have become when arresting minorities. Open your damn eyes and see if they are going to kill you before you kill them! They may just as well be doing things we whites take for granted, such as playing with toys, getting food and drinks for family members, et al!
