Paroles
0:00Was it Cesar Chavez
0:03Or Rosa Parks that day?
0:06Some say Dr. King or Ghandi
0:09Set them on their way
0:13No matter who your mentors are
0:15It's pretty plain to see
0:18That if you've been to jail for justice
0:21You're in good company
0:23Have you been to jail for justice?
0:26I want to shake your hand
0:28'Cause sitting in and laying down
0:31Are ways to take a stand
0:33Have you sung a song for freedom
0:36Or marched that picket line?
0:38Have you been to jail for justice?
0:41Then you're a friend of mine
0:44You law abiding citizens
0:47Come listen to this song
0:49Laws are made by people
0:51And people can be wrong
0:54Once unions were against the law
0:56But slavery was fine
0:59Women were denied the vote
1:01While children worked the mine
1:04The more you study history
1:06The less you can deny it
1:08A rotten law stays on the books
1:11'Til folks with guts defy it!
1:12Have you been to jail for justice?
1:16I want to shake your hand
1:18'Cause sitting in and laying down
1:21Are ways to take a stand
1:23Have you sung a song for freedom
1:25Or marched that picket line?
1:27Have you been to jail for justice?
1:30Then you're a friend of mine
1:34Well the law is supposed to serve us
1:37And so are the police
1:39When the system fails
1:40It's up to us to speak our piece
1:43We must be ever vigilant
1:46For justice to prevail
1:48So get courage from your convictions
1:51Let 'em haul you off to jail!
1:53Have you been to jail for justice?
1:56I want to shake your hand
1:58'Cause sitting in and laying down
2:01Are ways to take a stand
2:03Have you sung a song for freedom
2:05Or marched that picket line?
2:07Have you been to jail for justice?
2:10Then you're a friend of mine
2:12Have you been to jail for justice
2:15Have you been to jail for justice
2:17Have you been to jail for justice
2:20Then you're a friend of mine
