Vices
Lyrics
I must again sing my dissent until your end I must again sing my dissent until your end ♪ We all have our vices, we all have our flaws We all have our anger, we all have our love We all have our vices, we all have our flaws We all have our anger, we all have our love This is the first set of words that I'll put to these chords To indemnify me of the blood that runs Through the veins in my arms Pumped from my heart That holds hope in one chamber and hate in the others We all have our vices, we all have our flaws We all have our anger, we all have our love Fatherless is how I prefer to be known At six years young, I was left all on my own The son of a full time working mother With a molester for father, who lives with a prison for home We all have our vices, we all have our flaws We all have our anger, we all have our love We all have one love And I must again sing my dissent until your end And I must again sing my dissent until your end Because I can barely breathe with your weight on my chest And I'm so fucking sick of being ashamed of my own flesh And I must again sing my dissent until your end ♪ We all have our vices, we all have our flaws We all have our anger, we all have our love We all have our vices, we all have our flaws We all have our anger, we all have our love We all have our vices, we all have our flaws We all have our anger, we all have our love We all have our vices, we all have our flaws We all have our anger, we all have our love We all have our vices, we all have our flaws We all have our anger, we all have our love We all ♪ America, in my opinion, is the prison house of nations It rings with the sound of truth to me But let's let the numbers tell the tale Now, if we were to count all of the people in U.S. prisons and jails We would account for almost a quarter of the worlds prisoners The actual figure comes to 23 percent of the worlds incarcerated From a country of a mere five percent of the worlds total population Not since Rome have we seen such a fever for imprisonment So there's a reason I've called it the prison house of nations Because it is From death row, this is Mumia Abu-Jamal
