San Quentin Lyrics by Great Apes

Thread

0

An off-white blemish on a perfect palette of blues
Sea green converging with Marin money hues
Tamalpais looks downward upon the wealth-exempt wound
500 acres with a con in every room
While the sun-soaked saunter smiling through Northgate Mall
Breathing grey specters sickly scratch cell walls
Samaritans of privilege spewing script liberal speak
Wretched truth on the Bay’s edge - oh, the ease in turning cheek
It’s not human if we don’t havе to look
In death’s glowing chamber, stone cagе to stone plaque
Window watching strangers witness life unpacked
Under a redwood halo comes love and regret
Sinner self-forgiveness while the saint freely forgets
If there’s a problem, we’ll lock it up
Devaluation - the slow strain on the core
Treatment by covering the sore
Demonization enables error without remorse
Systemic - avoidance of the source
