Text: Jeremy Fisher. Lay Down (Ballad Of Rigoberto Alpizar).
I can't say I feel sorry
I can't say if I am sad
Showed up for work Miami airport
Like any God-fearing man
We all like to bear witness
And believe what we see is true
But I was there to protect the freedom shared
By the privileged likes of you
Let my eye be the jury and the judgment
Let my gun be the one to set the score
(Chorus:)
You will lay down, you will lay down
You will lay down you've been warned
You will lay down, you will lay down
You're guilty for being born
Don't look at me for any answers
Just like you I am confused
I took the life of Rigoberto Alpizar
Coz I'm just trained to follow through
Let my heart be the part by which you judge me
Like the sun in everyone it is pure
(Chorus)
This is freedom, this is freedom
Do you want more?
(Chorus)
I can't say if I am sad
Showed up for work Miami airport
Like any God-fearing man
We all like to bear witness
And believe what we see is true
But I was there to protect the freedom shared
By the privileged likes of you
Let my eye be the jury and the judgment
Let my gun be the one to set the score
(Chorus:)
You will lay down, you will lay down
You will lay down you've been warned
You will lay down, you will lay down
You're guilty for being born
Don't look at me for any answers
Just like you I am confused
I took the life of Rigoberto Alpizar
Coz I'm just trained to follow through
Let my heart be the part by which you judge me
Like the sun in everyone it is pure
(Chorus)
This is freedom, this is freedom
Do you want more?
(Chorus)
Fisher, Jeremy
