lyrics

There will be no justice there will be no peace
No relaxation ease of deep breath release
There will be no justice there will be no peace

Protest acquiesce nothing’s gonna change
The structures of power the weight of history remains
Protest acquiesce nothing’s gonna change

This is not to say that I’m losing hope
Just killing time and doing my best to cope
No white flag waving just taking a moment to mope

But there’s no reason to think there’ll be success
Those in power will continue to demand we settle for less
Here’s a scrap of what you deserve, good luck, god bless

White allies will get tired and move on
Police and politicians won’t stay focused for long
Bad cops will be protected the blue line will stand strong

Policy changes will fall upon deaf ears
Good faith discussion will be met with devil’s advocate smears
Status quo structures will receive progressive veneers

I’ll keep teaching help the kids find another way
Get them to understand solidarity and shades of grey
But if it makes an impact on the future, who’s to say?

There will be no justice there will be no peace
No relaxation ease of deep breath release
There will be no justice there will be no peace

There will be no justice there will be no peace for me
