Live From No Shame Theatre
Written and Performed by Jesse Wozniak


Just walking the street
And tending his beat
Not fighting a war
Only saving' the poor
At sixteen he exposed the high priests
Nothing violent, he only wanted peace
Because it's America they fleece
Their violence must decrease
Genocide of the blacks
Don't deny it
Check the facts
It's not about his acts
It's about the truth in his tracks
How can you sit there and relax
This is bigger than Anthrax
You'd think he'd been blessed
Arnold Beverly confessed
But the judge upheld arrest
His innocence I must attest
This shit gets me depressed
No one will ever clear this mess
They continue to suppress
So we all have to transgress
To save the voice of the voiceless
Judge says
Lets kill the nigger
Only hates him
'Cuz he's a mud digger
The system
Is so much bigger
To free him
We need your vigor
An innocent man
Never out of line
Yet he's served
20 years of time
Innocent man
On the guillotine stand
You know that it's been planned
The fires they have fanned
Why can't they understand
When his freedom we demand
We must all take a stand
We can't let him take the fall
If they get him, they gonna get us all
That's why we need to free
