We just started writing these songs and these are just first drafts.
But tell me what you think..

here goes...

The shots were heard for miles and miles
This town is turnin' into hell
Four black men lyin' face down on the ground
Beat so badly they couldn't even yell

They didn't do nothin' wrong
They didn't see it comin' when them bats were swung
It's obvious who the killers were
Two rich white kids who were killin' just for fun

They were arrested and brought down town
Everyone knew they did and raised their fists in fury
Those two kids had lots of money to bail themselves out
Their fathers were well respected and sat on the jury

There were witnesses who saw the killings
They didn't say anything cuz they couldn't believe their eyes
They sat silent on the floor while th etwo men testified
But they pleaded guilty and caught everyone by surprise

"Are you sorry for the crime you done?"
Asked the judge with a voice like a rock
"Yes, you honor," the two men replied
Judge said, "Just give them a warning and free they will walk"

The four black men were brought to the hospital
They died the next mornin' and their mother's did cry
Those two men must live forever with what they've done
They'll be livin' on a beach not thinkin' about their crime
"I'm a thief, and I dig it"
