[Verse 1]
Bm A
I work all day to find my daily bread
Bm A
Work so hard to get a roof over my head
Bm A
But the one's I work with acts like their my masters
Bm A
When what I produce I'm more then equal partner
[Chorus]
Bm A
I can't get no justice under this system
Bm A
I can't get no justice in this society
[Verse 2]
Bm A
I work day and night to find my daily meals
Bm A
But freedom is supressed by another one's greed
Bm A
Why should certain ones control another one's needs?
Bm A
It's rebellion these kind of actions breeds
[Chorus]
Bm A
I can't get no justice under this system
Bm A
I can't get no justice in this society x2
[Verse 3]
Bm A
Why should one be judged by the color of their skin?
Bm A
Instead of the qualities they show from deep within
Bm A
If they keep wanting to control what we earn
Bm A
Run a press around because we're going to burn (going to burn)
[Chorus]
