Fifteen - Brian's Song lyrics

Went to get the mail today Got a letter from a kid down in Texas Said, " My friend got murdered" "The judge and the jury let the mother f**er get away" Read a statement from Brian's mom Sounded so f**ing familiar Punk Rock kid tried to feed every one Punk rock kid trying to make a world worth living in What a piece of jurisprudence What a piece of legal brilliance The lawyers used the Mohawk defense When the out casts do a murder (columbine) It's a national tragedy When the outcast gets murdered We say he had it coming Land of the free, your free to k** anyone that people are afraid of Land of the free, your free to k** anyone that people are afraid of We have a history of victim blaming He k**s his wife we say she asked for it Black man gets drug to d**h we say he was in the wrong neighborhood The police shot him down we say he had a history of mental illness And drug abuse Their lives were of no use White-collar conservative businessman Point your plastic finger at me Soon my kind are gonna drop away and die But I'm gonna wave my Freak Flag high.
