Cover art for Crime for Crime lyrics by Ani DiFranco

This song is so well phrased and very powerful!.. I think its about more than the death penalty however, I think its about a system that at its worst includes the death penalty.. but its also saying alot about the prison industrial complex as a whole and our judicial system. Saying "you might be the wrong color you might be too poor justice isn't something just anyone can afford" is a massive statement to the fact that our system is nowhere close to nuetral and is actually extreamely racist, sexist and classist. Kudos for naming it Ani..
