The New Jim Crow Lyrics by Anti-Flag

Cease Fires

2015

[Intro]
I can't help but shed a tear for you tonight
Because we know nothing can ever make it right
Your days cheated away
Never given a chance to clear your name, no

[Chorus]
Please accept my sincere apologies (x2)
For the heartless, For the useless
For the people who have no soul left to give
For the heartless, For the useless
For the people only looking out for themselves
For themselves

[Verse 1]
Welcome to the new America
Welcome to the new Jim Crow
Welcome to a world gone out of control
I said, picked up, set up, sent down
Case opened closed
I said, picked up, set up, sent down
Case opened closed

[Chorus]
Please accept my sincere apologies (x2)
For the heartless, For the useless
For the people who have no soul left to give
For the heartless, For the useless
For the people only looking out for themselves
For the people only looking out for themselves

[Bridge]
Picked up, set up, sent down, opened, closed
Picked up, set up, sent down, opened, closed
Picked up, set up, sent down, opened, closed
Picked up, set up, sent down, opened, closed

[Chorus]
Please accept my sincere apologies (x2)
For the heartless, For the useless
For the people who have no soul left to give
For the heartless, For the useless
For the people only looking out for themselves
For the people only looking out for themselves
For the people only looking out for themselves
