(“Fight”)
Look at me I look at you
What the fuck you gonna do?
I feel boxed in, well I wanna fight
Through the problems in the night
Whoa-o-o-o Fight
Whoa-o-o-o Fight
Hey all ye crunchclots, we all say
Fight for the united way
Fight together, fight as one
Fight forever till we’ve won
Whoa-o-o-o Fight
Whoa-o-o-o Fight
Fight

(“American Justice”)
I’m walking down the street just a-minding my own
In a strange town a thousand miles from home
When I’m searched by the man and he says to me
That “I am the law” and that’s the way it’s gonna be
It’s called American justice
But we know the truth
It’s called American justice
But what can we do?
No matter what’s the truth they’re gonna put you away
Push you around no matter just what you say
Even though it seems your only friend is the telephone
It’s called American justice
But we know the truth
It’s called American justice
But what can we do?
They’re never wrong only mistaken
But it don’t replace your rights they have been taken
They throw the book away you have been forsaken
For the American justice has just been faking
If you got not money then you’re just out of luck
Cause the lawyers and legal aid don’t give a fuck
That’s why the jails are full of the poor and the black
And once they get out, you know they end up coming back
It’s called American justice
But we know the truth
It’s called American justice
But what can we do?
