Lyrics

Twist my words like an old barbed wire fence
Bend me down so i have no defence
Take away my rights
Take away my pride
The truth is revealed
I have nothing to hide
I saw the news and it damn near made me sick
Big man of the law carrying a big stick
Innocent or guilty he didn’t even care
No mercy or pause for a last breath of air
Will we ever learn
Or just sit and watch it burn
I demand a little more
But i still believe that you
Can tell me something true
They didn’t even try him
Some loop hole in the law
Said he wasn’t guilty
Though everybody saw
An officer’s intention to kill with his hands
A glimpse of the darkness that can live inside a man
Will we ever learn
Or just sit and watch it burn
I demand a little more
And i still believe that you
Can tell me something true
The promise of salvation
Chimes of freedom ring
The pledge is getting hollow
That bird can’t even sing
The hopeless find hope
In the shadow of the king
Let’s take a page from their book
Fix that broken wing
Will we ever learn
Or just sit and watch it burn
I demand a little more
And i still believe that you
Can tell me something true
I still believe that you
Can tell me something true
Tell me something true
