In 1994, they thought they had their man
A hate crime and someone got stabbed
In Fullerton, Fear was the band, Nazi skins were out of hand
The cops had stuck a target on his back

I am the DA!
I do it my way
I'll make sure somebody pays

The case had been well planned, they placed liars on the stand
The verdict was decided by the shake of a hand
He spent the best years of his life in a penitentiary
Locked up for saving somebody else

In the wrong place again So pay the price again
Railroad justice again and again
For the time that he served, the criminals still run free
While the DA captured the press again

The truth is elusive and careers are at stake
The evidence is disposable and politics takes it's place
And if this type of justice is a shock to you
Pay attention on Election Day or the day might you!

I think you're going to pay
