the new jim crow

i can't help but shed a tear for you tonight

because we know nothing can ever make it right

your days cheated away

never given a chance to clear your name

no

please accept my sincere apologies

please accept my sincere apologies

for the heartless

for the useless

for the people who have no soul left to give

for the heartless

for the useless

for the people only looking out for themselves

for themselves

welcome to the new america

welcome to the new jim crow

welcome to a world gone out of control
