Joseph Arthur sings for #Ferguson
Words and Music by Joseph Arthur
Where Is Our Freedom
The cops in Missouri
Are in a fury
They shot a teenager
Who wasn't breaking the law
Dressed like the army
Someone better warn me
Waging a war
On the streets of America
Where is our freedom
Who can we trust
When the police
We pay for protection
Are turning their guns
Back on us
Where is our freedom
Who's protecting the law
When the cops are the thugs
We need to escape from
When the night falls
The people all riot
Cops come in droves
Shooting gas at our own
While wearing military clothes
Reporters arrested
For reporting the truth
Big brother is hiding
And destroying the proof
Where is our freedom
Who can we trust
When the police
We pay for protection
Are turning their guns
Back on us
Where is our freedom
Who's protecting the law
When the cops are the thugs
We need to escape from
When the night falls
In America
