SKIN SONG

another sun shines and burns

but it's not like summer

all heads turn

it sounds like a drummer

another sun shines and burns

the black man dead on the ground

all heads turn

but the mouths make no sound

because that skin is not good for coats

it´s not worth a calf or a goat

everybody goes with the flow

waiting for the next freak show

the moon comes bringing light

but it's not like a celebration

another painful night

another black boy shot near the station

the moon comes bringing light

I ask heaven why

so much dirty fight

the weakest always dies

because that skin is only good for bleeding

according to the gospel of the good people

and the holy beast they keep on feeding

on the top of their pure white steeples
