they found your body
Another Redwoods
Right there on Highway 101
And I gotta wonder why
is it with that
So many social services, counselors,
advisors and agencies
And I gotta wonder why is it with that
So much of what they call help
A 12 -year -old girl's first
taste of peace
Don't come until she's deceased
Georgia
Police conducted an investigation
For a couple of weeks,
they said they just ran out of leads
They made sure to publicly justify
not being able to find the
man that killed you
They spent more time on their own alibi
to make sure it looked okay
on the evening news
It's okay, it's al right,
we can all rest easy tonight
Even though there's
a man on the loose
Who murders children,
but don't let it worry you
It's okay, it's alright
Cause he won't come
after yours or mine
It's okay, it's al right
He killed a black girl
And no kids, no wait
Press Democrat let your momma's
boyfriend say
She was such a bad girl,
and she had it coming anyway
They let him say it, even though
Even though he had prior convictions
for child abuse
They gave him his own column
to explain to the good people why
We should blame you
for your own murder and abuse
Georgia, all the politicians
came to your wake
Georgia, all the cops came
to your memorial
But every time I go to clean your memorial,
I find no DA, no sheriff, no politicians.
Once the news crews are gone,
all I find is Tanya, Marie, Linda, Cheyenne,
and a handful of your
friends.
Got to wonder what would have happened
if your skin wasn't brown
Would this county accept a killer
and run loose in their own hometown?
Would the cops say, hey,
it's no big deal
Would the people reply,
we feel so bad
For the life she never got to have
But hey, but hey
It's okay, it's alright,
we can all rest easy now
Even though there's
a man on the loose
Who murders children,
but don't let it worry you
It's okay, it's alright,
cause he won't come
Master, yours or mine, it's okay
It's alright, he killed a black girl
And our kids are one
Went to sin, put you in your grave
Reverend coffee talkin'
about souls gettin' saved
But not here
The end of it all, all I can say,
I didn't know they made
caskets that small.
you
