wrong place at the wrong time   with the wrong color of skin   policemen under pressure and they're wearing thin   they handcuffed that poor man   and they took him to the pin   he ain't wronged no one in his whole life   and now his walls are caving in      one thing leads to another & you got      one last supper 'till the needle goes in   they call it retribution but nobody wins   one last supper 'till the needle goes in   false convictions they're killing innocent men      sometimes in the morning   I wake up and roll out of bed   read the headlines in the papers   and I scratch my head   a cowboy in texas says there's reason for the dead   his people sit and wonder if they can believe a word he's said      one thing leads to another & you got      one last supper 'till the needle goes in   they call it retribution but nobody wins   one last supper 'till the needle goes in   bombs falling killing women and children
