Lyrics
Postcards of bodies hanging
From the limbs
A young man hunted down and killed
He was just being polite
He was just out on a run
She was just trying to walk home
He was just a scared kid
She made them feel uncomfortable
He was just trying to make a buck
Southern justice hides a noose
In a star spangled boot
Laced with faith and alibis
Soled with deep ancestral ties
Postcards of bodies hanging from the limbs
A young man hunted down and killed
She raised her voice to him
His music was too loud
He should have known to not talk back
He held his hands up
She reached into her purse
He was just playing with a toy
Southern justice hides a noose
In a star spangled boot
Laced with faith and alibis
Soled with deep ancestral ties
White justice hides a noose
In a star spangled boot
Laced with faith and alibis
Soled with deep ancestral ties
Is it in my blood?
Is it in my blood?
Dear God is it in my blood?
Postcards of bodies hanging from the limbs
A young man hunted down and killed
