Felix DuChene – Your Justice Is A Joke lyrics

[Verse 1]
It was two weeks before Christmas,
In Amarillo, Texas,
Lie the body of Brian Deneke
He was murdered by a jock,
Who was let off free as scot,
‘cause Brian believed in Anarchy.

[Pre-Chorus 1]
His blue-dyed mohawk then was stained in red
A ruthless killer free, an innocent punk dead

[Chorus 1]
‘Cause your justice is just (pause) one big joke
And people wonder why some go for broke?
We’ve little time, don’t step (pause) out of line
Or the fury of society, you’ll invoke

[Verse 2]
On a rainy day in Florida,
It set the stage for murder
Cause poor Trayvon Martin was shot dead
He just went to buy some food,
To eat that afternoon
But his killer had other plans instead

[Pre-Chorus 2]
All Trayvon wanted was a simple snack
His killer got off because Trayvon was black

[Chorus 2]
‘Cause your justice is just (pause) one big joke,
You know, but you don’t care the system is broke,
We know the cause, yet (pause) you applaud,
The racist, fascist, bastards of which I spoke

[Verse 3]
There was a woman, anonymous,
Whose rapist’s name’s synonymous,
With rich, white kids who get let off of crimes,
He was facing fourteen years,
But because of Stanford peers,
He got six months, but only served half-time

[Pre-Chorus 3]
His defense argued that his deed was just a glitch
I won’t shed a goddamn tear for that son of a bitch

[Chorus 3]
‘Cause your justice is just (pause) one big joke,
It’s gone on way too long, so this song I wrote,
I’m tired of crooks, getting (pause) off the hook,
But a change in the system seems remote

[Pre-Chorus 4]
This shit is nothing new it’s been around for years,
The fact that nothing’s changed can bring a man to tears,

[Final Chorus]
The victims of these monsters need some closure from the grave,
When the inmates run the prison, we will all end up enslaved,
The lifestyles, and the gender and the color of the skin,
Should not be deemed by those in charge as punishable sins,
I’m out of line, soon out of time, and so my life will croak,
But that’s okay (pause) your justice is a joke
