Lyrics to No Justice, No Peace
Freedom for all political prisoners in the United States Be aware of cointelpro and the falsehoods it creates We must stop the racist atrocities committed by police Demand that every last freedom fighter be released These people lost their freedom because of their knowledge of the facts And their commitment to expose it warrants FBI attacks If they survive thery're harled away, the system now aborts Their rights and any justice in political uppet courts Another imprisioned year goes by Another parole will be denied Another prisioned is victimized The government and the FBI Make sure parole will be denied Our judical system's a fucking lie They'll keep them there until they die They're wictims of the corrupt legal system we ignore Like Leonard Peltier, Geronimo Pratt, The Move9, and Ricahard Moore (Dhoruebim Wahad) only crime committed is their mere existence Or their noble sacrifice of uncompromising resistance Persistence of resistance stems from independent thought So these "dangerous" revolutionaries are left in jail to rot This country reeks of prejucice from sea to shining sea They fucking lock the people up and throw away the key Another imprisioned year goes by Another parole will be denied Another prisioned is victimized The government and the FBI Make sure parole will be denied Our judical system's a fucking lie They'll keep them there until they die Our freedom of speech in this country is limited To having the sage obedient views the government want us to have Those with dissenting views are harassed, beaten imprisoned or killed Your freedom of assembly is also a lie If you protest against the government the chances are You've already been filmed by police and are now on file There's hundreds of political prisoners being held all over the United States They have to endure some of the harshest conditions of the American prison system As long as our government continues to subject us to their cowardly oppression We're no longer obligated to them as peaceful citizens The time's extrememly overdue to take back what's rightfully ours We're no longer here for their selfish exploitaion It's our lives, our minds, our beliefs Fuck their threats and intimidation They have nothing left to hold over our heads Freedom and equality some people will never know Like Mumia Abu-Jamal who is waiting on death row His rights were stripped away by cops under Rizzo's reign Then he was dragged into court where Judge Ssbo did the same He exposed their fascist tactics and their feeble racist fears So he was framed and put in prison where he's now spent fourteen years He fights for the rights of people who fall victim togovernment violence They want him dead because the voice of the voiceless won't be silent Another imprisioned year goes by Another parole will be denied Another prisioned is victimized The government and the FBI Make sure parole will be denied Our judical system's a fucking lie They'll keep them there until they die
