Look at me, I look at you
What the fuck you gonna do?
I feel boxed in, well, I just wanna fight
Through the problems in the night
Ooh, Fight
(for what you think is right)
Hey, all ye crunchcloths, we all say
Fight for the united way
Fight together, fight as one
Fight forever till we've won
Ooh, Fight
(for what you think is right)
To unite

I'm walking down the street just a-minding my own
In a strange town, a thousand miles from home
When I'm searched by the man, and he says to me
That "I am the law" and that's the way it's gonna be
It's called American justice
But we know the truth
It's called American justice
But what can we do?
No matter what's the truth, they're gonna put you away
Push you around, no matter just what you say
It's them against you, but you're not just alone
Even though it seems your only friend is the telephone
And it's called American justice
But we know the truth
It's called American justice
But what can we do?
They're never wrong, only mistaken
It don't replace your rights that have been taken
They throw the book away, you've been forsaken
For American justice has just been faking
If you got no money then you're just out of luck
"˜Cause the lawyers and legal aid, they just don't give a fuck
That's why the jails are full of the poor and black
And once they get out, you know they end up just going back
It's called American justice
But we know the truth
It's called American justice
But what can we do?
Yeah, what can we do about American Justice?
American Justice
