Whatever happened to Habeas Corpus? Whatever happened to your day in court? You’ll never get to see a jury They’ve changed a natural right Into a last resort Fifth amendment lets you keep silent Sixth amendment guarantees a trial We’re not free, we’ve got no rights We traded them away and we’re living in denial They call it justice They call it taking a plea. They call it justice But it seems like extortion to me It seems like extortion to me It seems like we’re not really free It’s not a matter of protecting the guilty It’s not about having a bleeding heart Absolute power for prosecutors Gives them the power to rip families apart The innocent faced with years in prison Have no chance to let a jury decide Take a plea, or risk your life There’s a gun against their head their hands are tied Chorus More than two million are locked in prison Who never had a chance to stand and face their peers Remember the name of Kalief Browder Locked away in Rikers for over three years Three years waiting to prove his innocence It’s a shame that we should never permit They offered pleas, to set him free He wouldn’t confess to a crime he didn’t commit
