Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Another man is dead
Another man is dead
Another man is dead
They put a bullet in his head
Another man is dead
[Verse 2]
When my grandpa was young
He had to hold his tongue
'Cause they'd hang you from a bridge downtown
Now, they call it stand your ground
Another man is dead
[Verse 3]
21st century don't mean a thing to me
'Cause it might as well be 1910
They're killing women and killing men
Another woman is dead
[Verse 4]
Another woman's dead
Another woman is dead
Turn signal wasn't on, they locked her up and now she's gone
Another woman is dead
[Verse 5]
No respect for life
Just a slave in your eyes
If you'd rather see me in chains
I guess some things haven't changed
[Verse 6]
Well, maybe I'm just angry and my words may be cliche
Well, it's hard to write a song, while folks get murdered every day
I know it ain't so simple
I just know I'm mad as hell
Why should we choose between a noose and dying in a cell?
[Verse 7]
They killed another man
They killed another man
Police pulled a gun on me, I was only seventeen
But I could have been that man
[Verse 8]
Some folks believe the lies
They're fooled by the disguise
No need to hide behind a white hood
When a badge works just as good
Another man is dead
