Mistaken Identity 
You really got this one wrong 
Racially singled out 
He must have a gun 
And yet 
You get 
Off with 
No time 

How can this be the answer? 
No crying in the shadow way* 
Realise that the 
Blood is on your hands 
Hands which were supposed to protect 
People like the man you blew away 
This isn't justice 
This is corruption 
The four protecters 
Fired 41 shots 
Hitting him 19 times 
Searching the body 
There were no weapons found 
He lies with all who died in vain 

But there must still be a crime 
We're all hearing freedom* 
Is equally cut down 
By who we trust 

And yet 
You get 
Off with 
No time 

How can this be the answer? 
No crying in the shadow way 
Realise that the 
Blood is on your hands 
Hands which were supposed to protect 
People like the man you blew away 
This isn't justice 
This is corruption 
The four protecters 
Fired 41 shots 
Hitting him 19 times 
Searching the body 
There were no weapons found 
He lies with all who died in vain
