Nothing Is Fair Lyrics

Saw something today
That made me cry
Fifty years old
To young to die
Shot by a man who'd never recant
Well who decided to give him a gun

Drop a little something
To make it seem right
With wild youth watching
On the other side
I was told
To believe
In a country that is free
But ain't nothing fair for you and me

Hey walter scott
I'm singing to you
With 8 bullets flyin'
Well what can you do
Oh we fought for something
Called civil rights
Hey michael t slager
What gives you the right

So i weep for the children
Under our red flag
Stained from the blood
Of nine body bags
I was told
To believe
In a country that is free
But ain't nothing fair for you and me

I gotta friend in the army
Who's hoping for more While ten drunk rich kids
Sound the drums of war and
I'm so damn scared
For my generation
Your minds so numb
And little patience

While in the fields
The innocent die
Shot by the men
Who still have wives
I was told
To believe
In a country that is free
But ain't nothing fair for you and me

Jeremy quinton
I'm singing to you
Oh why won't america
Listen to you
With their ears so deaf
And my swallowed rage
You know this lie they give is nothing but a cage

So i wrote this song
For walter scott
'cause I'm not a jury
That can be bought
I was told
To believe
In a country that is free
I was told
To believe
In a country that is free
But ain't nothing fair for you and me

Oh no no no no..
