Jailbreak lyrics by The Martyr Index

I heard 'bout this kid in Watts who ain't hurt no one
Got beat down by the cops then they planted him with a gun
Then the judge say "boy, there's a consequence for what you done"
And since his skin ain't white he ain't never gon' see the sun

They burned down his American dream, and left it smokin' on the interstate

Man wants a better life, moves to Detroit from Kabul
Drivin' hack to feed his family and put his kids through school
Until one day he's arrested with no right to trial
Because Homeland Security put a terror threat on his file

They burned down his American dream, and left it smokin' on the interstate


Chain gang

Think you'll find freedom and justice the American way? Just ask Huey or Mumia or the cats at Guantanamo bay
They make money for every person they put away
So if you ain't rich, you're guilty and they'll throw you in anyway, yeah

So tear down their American dream and leave it smokin' on the inter...
Break outta their American dream and leave it smokin' on the inter...
Burn, burn down their American dream and leave it smokin' on the interstate
