lyrics

I'm just a white kid from a white city
Oh look at me, I'm dressed so pretty
I turn on the news, and oh what a pity
Another dead man who looks of ethnicity

I'm just a white kid from a white city
I want to help, but I feel so empty
And if he did the crime
He didn't deserve to die

Whatever happened to the fifth amendment
Another dead black man on the pavement

I'm just a white kid from a white city
Misinformation helps out the enemy
I turn on the news, I get real angry
When opinions are worse the weaponry

I'm just a white kid from a white city
I want to help, but I feel so empty
And yes the cop attached
But they dismissed the facts

Whatever happened to the fifth amendment
Another dead black man on the pavement

Cameras on the cops
Cameras on the cops
Cameras on the cops
And let the public watch
Cameras on the cops
Cameras on the cops
Cameras on the cops
And let the public watch

I'm just a white kid from a white city
I want to help but I feel so empty
I turn on the news I get so angry
Cause I'm just a kid who dreams of Civil Liberty

Whatever happened to the fifth amendment
Another dead black man on the pavement
