Lyrics
He was seventeen when he crossed state lines Not enough to drink, barely old enough to drive A youth self-deputized, he took the lives Of two But he won’t be remembered for domesticated terror It don’t fit the agenda if your skin can get no fairer, blue The colour of his eyes and the lives he’s sworn onto You were once a child too Make no mistake, make no excuse From the highest branch down to the roots Dig up the seeds we’ve sown Hatred has always been homegrown We publicize the names of the slayer not the slain And illuminate the way for more from where he came False gods on a network wage that are never gonna pay the cost Who were once just children too Make no mistake, make no excuse From the highest branch down to the roots Dig up the seeds we’ve sown Hatred has always been homegrown We view an execution from the comfort of our homes Due process rendered useless on the curbside of a road Hear pleas for humanity to a brute with an iron knee But he was once a child too Make no mistake, make no excuse From the highest branch down to the roots Dig up the seeds we’ve sown Hatred has always been homegrown
