about

written in the wake of the 2015 riots in Ferguson, MO

lyrics

It’s the brick and the broom
Torch and the hose
The helmet and the hoodie
Riot gear versus clothes
It’s the gun and the gauze
The fist and the palm
Pepper spray and signs
Rubber bullets versus songs
It’s the red tape and tears
Yellow tape and fears
White guns and black men
Priviledge versus years
It’s the body cam and phone
Water cannon and the crowd
The shield and the rock
Mighty versus the loud
It’s the mother and the looter
A thug and a preacher
The shot and the shooter
Kids versus the teacher
When the system is broken
With no effort to fix
When the truth is not spoken
We’re out throwing bricks
When we bring together
Both sides in one room
To agree on the causes
We’ll pick up the broom
