lirik lagu anne feeney - have you been to jail for justice
was it cesar chavez? maybe it was dorothy day
some will say dr. king or gandhi set them on their way
no matter who your mentors are it’s pretty plain to see
that, if you’ve been to jail for justice, you’re in good company
have you been to jail for justice? i want to shake your hand
cause sitting in and lyin’ down are ways to take a stand
have you sung a song for freedom? or marched that picket line?
have you been to jail for justice? then you’re a friend of mine
you law abiding citizens, come listen to this song
laws were made by people, and people can be wrong
once unions were against the law, but slavery was fine
women were denied the vote and children worked the mine
the more you study history the less you can deny it
a rotten law stays on the books til folks like us defy it
the law’s supposed to serve us, and so are the police
and when the system fails, it’s up to us to speak our peace
it takes eternal vigilancefor justice to prevail
so get courage from your convictions
let them haul you off to jail!
