lyrics

I’m living the good life, pop pop pop
You think that I don’t know
I’m living the good life, pop pop pop
No one’s killing me in the road
I’m living the good life, pop pop pop
It’s modern day Jim Crow
I’m living the good life, pop pop pop
I’m part of the status quo

Trayvon Martin
We all let you down
Michael Brown
Cops are killing now
Eric Garner
We’re all on our knees
Tamir Rice
Black boy murder spree

That’s my face staring back from the TV
I was born part of the bourgeoisie

Walter Scott
Shot in the back
Jonathan Ferrell
Wrong place while black
Freddie Gray
Sadists took his life
Sandra Bland
Might be here if white

That’s my face staring back from the TV
I was born part of the bourgeoisie
Recognize my place in this hierarchy
Basic niceties come to me quite easily
