lyrics

This is an adaptation from the Sinead O'Connor song Black Boys On Mopeds. Her lyrics have been altered with admiration and in sadness.

White talking head on TV,
is shocked by the deaths that took place overseas.
It seems curious he would be so offended,
when it's outside his own door he defends it.

We've said this before,
you'll call me naive and then you'll say it more.
Remember what I told you,
"If they hated me, they will hate you".

America's laws have color coded enforcement,
it's the home of who police kill black boys on street corners.
It's the same everywhere and that is why there is grieving.
I refuse,
to accept,
that there is a sane reason.

Don't you dare say a word,
the Red Record goes on undisturbed.
You'll go on like we told you,
and if you say please, maybe they will hear you...

These are dangerous days,
to walk on the street is to walk on your own grave.
Remember what I told you,
"If you were of the world they would love you".

America's laws have color coded enforcement,
It's the home of police who kill black boys on street corners.
America's justice has color coded enforcement,
it's the home of police who kill black men on street corners.
