I've been painting a picture of Angola, Louisiana
Pictures of deals in back alleys where politicians often hide
But it's much more important to me than Angola, Louisiana
Got a lot to do with justice but more with Gary Tyler's life
I got a letter from his mother and said: "Please, say something to my son!"
Yeah but truth is: Angola, Louisiana, that's the one
Well, I ain't never been nowhere near Angola, Louisiana
Down in St. Charles Parish where the sun won't go alone
But injustice is not confined to Angola, Louisiana
Gotta locked in your living room
As long as it surrounds your home
I'm sending love to brother Tyler, but after all is said and done
Well, truth is: Angola, Louisiana, you're the one
I can't tell a man not to defend himself
With not at this late stage
Can't tell a man he ain't got no rights, nowhere
Well, not in this day and age
And this song may not touch a whole lot of people
Persuaded by the truth
But take a look at what's going on, people
'Cause this all could happen to you, yeah
Truth is just like
Well, I've been painting a picture of Angola, Louisiana
Down in St. Charles Parish, where the sun won't go alone
But injustice is not confined to Angola, Louisiana
Well, it can't walk in your living room
Brother Tyler, hold on, be strong, you're not alone
Well, I got a letter from his mother and said: "Please, say something to my son!"
