Vieux Farka Touré feat. Julia Easterlin took my brother down

Select language to translate this lyric

I Heard You Took My Brother Down
Like A Beast His Blood Was Found
Along The Road To The Edge Of Town
With All The Sirens Blaring
I've Since Heard Tell His Empty Hands
Were Raised Above His Head
Just When The Shots Rang Out And Through His Skin
The Metal Went Ablazing
A Whole Shot In The Carpel Wall
The Shattered Bone And Then The Fall
From Citizen To Martyrdom
The People All Glaring
And When His Head Did Hit The Earth
Were You Reminded Of His Birth?
Descending To His Country
With Grace And Hope Abounding?
But You're A Man Of Principle
Of Boundaries Set Up Quite Simple
And You Start To Kill Like A Bomb
When The Right People Rub You Wrong
And If You Call It Self Defense Then
You Will Bear No Consequence
You Put My Dear Brother In The Ground
And Who's Gonna Defend Him Now?
I Heard You Took My Brother Down
Just A Boy His Blood Was Found
Along The Road To The Edge Of Town
The People All Staring
I've Since Heard Tell You've Been Set Free
You're Settled In Your Certainty
But Honey I Just Don't Believe
You've Got It Figured Out
