You're Gonna Die (Unless You're White And/Or Rich)
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Racially inefficient,
A malfunction prevalent in the system
Blood rusts dry! On gears monkey wrenched with innocent life;
However cogs refuse to slow,
With each denial that we know
The machine runs on murderous,
In its service of peace!
Eye for an eye!
As long as you're not white
Injustice! As the hammer falls!
Eye for an eye!
As long as pockets aren't lined
Injustice! As the hammer falls!
Economically deficient,
A virus rampant in this organism,
Blood runs dry! In corpses too poor to pay for their life;
However teeth refuse to slow,
With each refusal that we know
The monster feeds on murderous,
In its quest for peace!
Eye for an eye!
As long as you're not white
Injustice! As the hammer falls!
Eye for an eye!
As long as pockets aren't lined
Injustice! As the hammer:
Barbaric vestigium, but even that aside,
Your intentions get lost in the flawed design.
And the financially inept,
The black men that you net, guilty or innocent,
Will walk this mile! More often than me or mine!
Oh no, no, no!
Oh no, no, no!
Oh no, this ship of justice has just run ashore.
Oh no, no, no!
Oh no, no, no!
Oh no, this ship of justice is in just need of reform!
Eye for an eye!
As long as you're not white
And/or rich! As the hammer falls!
Eye for an eye!
As long as pockets aren't lined
Injustice! As the hammer...
