Lyrics
There's a blind man in the witness stand
There is a blind man testifying in court.
With three young men's lives in his hands
He holds the fate of three young men in his testimony.
There's a poor boy who stood at the scene
A poor boy witnessed the incident.
Who'll be haunted by the dirty things he's seen
The poor boy is troubled by disturbing images he witnessed.
It's a shame all the jury knew the accused
The jury knew the accused, leading to questionable justice.
'Cause now they're running free when they left her cold and bruised
The accused are now free despite harming someone.
There's a chalked white line stained with blood
A chalked white line marks a crime scene with blood stains.
Sorry Mr. Jones, we did all we could
An apology to Mr. Jones, indicating limitations in justice efforts.
There's a whole lot of people out there and they're all running free
Many people are running free, some indifferent, some harmful.
Some will care and some will steal the last breath that you breathe
People vary in their actions, some caring, some stealing the last breath.
From you, from you
Reiteration of the potential harm others can cause to you.
So Mr. Jones in a cruel twist of fate
Mr. Jones faces an unfortunate twist of fate.
Found the perpetrators in a drunken haze
Mr. Jones identifies the wrongdoers while intoxicated.
Gave them retribution for their twisted ways
He seeks retribution for their twisted actions.
Now he's going down for years instead of days
Despite his intentions, Mr. Jones faces a long sentence.
There's a whole lot of people out there and they're a wild and restless sea,
People are diverse, resembling a wild and restless sea.
Some will care and some will steal the last breath that you breathe from you
Some individuals may harm or care for you, affecting your last breath.
From you, from you
Reiteration of the potential harm others can cause to you.
