lyrics

there were white cops
killing black kids
on some BART train
down in oakland

and they swore they weren't racist
and the jury they forgave him
but it didn't look like an accident
when you shot that little kid to death

but with a jury of your peers
you'll do a minimum of years
that's democracy
that's the amerikan dream

so who killed oscar grant?
not i said the policeman
i swear it was an accident
i'm not some racist sack of shit

but i swore i saw a gun
in that little boy's pants
who can blame me?
it was scary

but with a jury of my peers
i'll do a minimum of years
that's democracy
that's the amerikkkan dream
