mistaken identity

Looking through these bars and wondering why I'm here
Accused of a crime I did not commit and the police make nothing clear
Stripped of my rights by the words of another
Locked in a cell with my victimized brothers
In this country, the land of the free
I'm an innocent man arrested guilty
I stand accused, innocent of the crime
Not yet been sentenced but I'm already doing time
Chorus:
Mistaken identity, handcuffed face down
Mistaken identity, my freedom gagged and bound
Surrounded by convicted felons, locked down in this cell
What did I ever do to earn this living hell
Busted by cops in need of a collar
Eating donuts four to twelve to earn their dollar
In this country, the land of the free
I am an innocent man arrested guilty
The criminal justice system plagued with dishonesty
They should judge themselves instead of crucifying me
Chorus
A ***** power trip to throw me in the joint
I feel sorry for you because you're nissing the point
You picked the wrong ************ and followed it through
Let the hammer of injustice fall on you
Lead
You have the right to remain silent
Was ******** the he said
Put your hands where I can see them
Make one move and you're dead
Chorus
To fill a quota and treat my life
Like a number or a statistic
make once innocent youth outraged
Angry and ballistic
Chorus 2x
