The New Jim Crow

I can't help but shed a tear for you tonight
Because we know nothing can
Ever make it right your days cheated away
Never given a chance to clear your name, no

Please accept my sincere apologies
For the heartless, For the useless
For the people who have no soul left to give
For the heartless, For the useless
For the people only looking
Out for themselves for themselves

Welcome to the new America
Welcome to the new Jim Crow
Welcome to a world gone out of control
I said, picked up, set up, sent down
Case opened closed
I said, picked up, set up, sent down
Case opened closed

Please accept my sincere apologies
For the heartless, For the useless
For the people who have no soul left to give
For the heartless, For the useless
For the people only looking
Out for themselves
For the people only looking
Out for themselves

Picked up, set up, sent down, opened, closed
Picked up, set up, sent down, opened, closed
Picked up, set up, sent down, opened, closed
Picked up, set up, sent down, opened, closed

Please accept my sincere apologies
For the heartless, For the useless
For the people who have no soul left to give
For the heartless, For the useless
For the people only looking
Out for themselves
For the people only looking
Out for themselves
For the people only looking
Out for themselves
