Laughs and jeers,
courtrooms of tears,
if it was your friend, would you have been so joyful
so prideful, so forgetful
to see murderers go free
with an air of 'unguilty'
'it will never happen to me'
like a drama unfolding
better than MTV or OC
if it was your friend, would you be there day and night
wonder if the families alright
as they drive 1000's of miles
to witness a murderers denial
would you wonder why the system
batts it's eyes and kisses them
while innocent men lie fallen
swift kick, blood and pride
adrenaline smashes the boy inside
if it was your friend, would you have dealt the blow
watched as innocent blood runs cold
then tried to grasp hold
what you've done
become comfortably numb
smuggly walk away,
we can turn ourselves in another day
quick, if we hurry
we can still hear justice banging her head against the brick wall

if this is about that artist, i guess he had a criminal record too and was the one banging the boys' heads against the walls of the bus... so it was more a plea of self defense. i talked to 'those friends.' but well said.
This was more of a reaction to their friends, which I saw on the news last night coming out of the courtroom like they had just been to a really good football game. Sort of made me sick -- and that kids AND adults alike, just seem to think that's the way to do things, kick the shit out of someone till their dead. No sensibility.
