Benton Harbor

by Raphael Adley
Whirlpool, what a Wac company
Whirlpool, it's a natural catastrophe
Whirlpool, it drags you under the sea
what they do to Benton Harbor they can do to you and me

What have they done to your city?
they took your jobs but not your dignity
your elders sent to rot in prison
they mock his word but he is risen
your young lay bleeding in the street
they laugh now but the story's incomplete
they blindly take what Lincoln restored
we shall not rest while rights are ignored

and its all because of (repeat chorus)

While one amongst us is not free
with no justice no peace can be
they stole your park a golf course to make
I WANNA SEE EVERY STUPID GOLF CART SIX FEET IN THE LAKE
police and judges and EFM
a conspiracy of terror it's us vs them
they plotted in darkness but their cover is blown
thank you Rachel Maddow, they will reap as they've sown.
