Season’s Greetings from Ferguson

Did this one get under your skin?
Season’s Greetings from Ferguson
Did you see the shape his momma was in?
When you can’t build you burn, can you call that a sin?

From an ivory tower I hear the critique
About how they should respond “they should protest in peace”
But to admonish don’t you already have to believe
In a system that would intervene on behalf of a few not for a greedy machine?

Thank god it didn’t happen to me
I can watch from by Black Friday discount TV
So let’s carve up the bird and give thanks
That they won’t come for us cause we paid for the tanks

I wonder as we’re all making our feast
And we watch what they’ll do to the ones with the least
Is trusting cops like trusting a priest?
You look to get saved but get fucked or get fleeced?

Season’s Greetings from Ferguson
They’d do to you, they’d do to me
They’d do to us what they did to them
