Ferguson Nights

[Introduction: News Caster] The images from this weekend of violence in the streets, stores being looted, and riot police with dogs barking and charging at protesters seem like they are out of another era. But this outburst of violence is going on in present day St. Louis Missouri. It all started with the fatal shooting by police of an unarmed black teenager [Verse 1: D. Lynch] We speak the way we feel, they don’t do us no favors A life was lost, the cops gettin' no waivers Let them all know we ain’t taking no favors Gettin' yours pig, yeah sooner or later It’s on every channel now, just look at the news It’s a civil war yo, what does the president do?
