Whose Child Is This

Lyrics

The sun sets on the water as the twilight fades away Here beneath my favourite tree I reflect upon the day The mastermind, the patriot have claimed another soul And while we made excuses someone's hopes and dreams they stole Whose child is this they've laid to rest In an unmarked grave Whose mother has gone missing What's the chance she'll be saved Joe said someone got murdered but you never blinked an eye Cause that was in the ghetto and they probably should have died But now the rivers running red and right to your front door You can't condemn the scapegoat they're not guilty anymore Whose child is this they've laid to rest In an unmarked grave Whose mother has gone missing What's the chance she'll be saved You've made them into stars that flash on your TV screen You kill them for their skin tone but you know their money's green You've laid the guideline for the game to see who kills the most A close up on the mother's tears the killer gets the toast Whose child is this they've laid to rest In an unmarked grave Whose mother has gone missing What's the chance she'll be saved Whose child is this they've laid to rest In an unmarked grave Whose mother has gone missing What's the chance she'll be saved
