Pamela Means - Mule lyrics

I think his name was leonard He been shot nine times Across from my front window Across the front lines One more story one more boy on the back page Tracking all the numbers Of brothers k**ing brothers And then charge by the grave I come from the town That suspended two cops When a k**er raped a boy And stuffed him in a box Then two years later When they thought we forgot Said "he was just a crazy queer Reinstate them cops" You cannot rise above Your own level of consciousness Any prejudice reflects A lack of willingness To grow to change To grow to change Change starts here Change starts here
