[VERSE 1]
[C]It was two weeks before Christmas,
In Am[F]arillo, Texas,
Lie the b[G]ody of Brian Dene[C]ke
[C]He was murdered by a jock,
Who was l[F]et off free as scot,
‘cause B[G]rian believed in Anarc[C]hy.

[PRE-CHORUS 1]
[C7]His blue-dyed mohawk then was st[F]ained in red
[Fm]A ruthless killer free, an i[G]nnocent punk dead

[CHORUS 1]
‘Cause your j[F]ustice i[G]s just ([C]pause) [E7]one big j[Am]oke
[F]And people w[G]onder why some [C]go for broke?
[F]We’ve little t[G]ime, don’t step ([C]pause) o[E7]ut of l[Am]ine
[F]Or the fury of s[G]ociety, you’ll in[C]voke

[VERSE 2]
[C]On a rainy day in Florida,
It s[F]et the stage for murder
Cause p[G]oor Trayvon Martin was s[C]hot dead
He just [C]went to buy some food,
To [F]eat that afternoon
But his k[G]iller had other plans ins[C]tead

[PRE-CHORUS 2]
[C7]All Trayvon wanted was a s[F]imple snack
[Fm]His killer got off because Tr[G]ayvon was black

[CHORUS 2]
‘Cause your j[F]ustice [G]is just [C](pause) o[E7]ne big j[Am]oke,
[F]You know, but y[G]ou don’t care the s[C]ystem is broke,
[F]We know the c[G]ause, yet ([C]pause) y[E7]ou app[Am]laud,
The r[F]acist, fascist, b[G]astards of which I s[C]poke

[VERSE 3]
There w[C]as a woman, anonymous,
Whose r[F]apist’s name’s synonymous,
With r[G]ich, white kids who get let off of cr[C]imes,
He was fa[C]cing fourteen years,
But bec[F]ause of Stanford peers,
He [G]got six months, but only served half-t[C]ime

[PRE-CHORUS 3]
[C7]His defense argued that his d[F]eed was just a glitch
[Fm]I won’t shed a goddamn tear for t[G]hat son of a bitch

[CHORUS 3]
‘Cause your ju[F]stice [G]is just ([C]pause) o[E7]ne big j[Am]oke,
[F]It’s gone on [G]way too long, so thi[C]s song I wrote,
[F]I’m tired of c[G]rooks, getting (p[C]ause) o[E7]ff the h[Am]ook,
But a c[F]hange in the s[G]ystem seems re[C]mote

[BRIDGE]
[C] [F] [G] [C] x2
[C7] [F] [Fm] [G]
[F] [G] [C] [E7] [Am] [F] [G] [C] x2
[C] [F] [G] [C] x2

[PRE-CHORUS 4]
[C7]This shit is nothing new it’s b[F]een around for years,
[Fm]The fact that nothing’s changed can b[G]ring a man to tears,

[FINAL CHORUS]
The vi[F]ctims of these m[G]onsters need some c[C]losure f[E7]rom the gr[Am]ave,
When the i[F]nmates run the pri[G]son, we will a[C]ll end up enslaved,
The l[F]ifestyles, and the [G]gender and the [C]color [E7]of the [Am]skin,
Should n[F]ot be deemed by t[G]hose in charge as p[C]unishable sins,
I’m o[F]ut of line, soon o[G]ut of time, and [C]so my l[E7]ife will c[Am]roak,
But [F]that’s okay (pause) your j[G]ustice is a j[C]oke

[C7] [F] [Fm] [G] [C]
