Anti-Flag - Vices lyrics

I must again sing my dissent until your end
I must again sing my dissent until your end

We all have our vices, we all have our flaws
We all have our anger, we all have our love

This is the first set of words
That I'll put to these chords
To indemnify me and the blood that runs
Through the veins in my arms
Pumped from a heart
That holds hope in one chamber
And hate in the other

We all have our vices, we all have our flaws
We all have our anger, we all have our love

Fatherless is how I prefer to be known
At 6 years young I was left all on my own
The son of a full time working mother
With a molester for father


Who lives with a prison for home

We all have our vices, we all have our flaws
We all have our anger, we all have our love

And I must again sing my
Dissent until your end
And I must again sing my
Dissent until your end
Because I can barely breathe with
Your weight on my chest
And I'm so fucking sick of being
Ashamed of my own flesh
And I must again sing my
Dissent until your end
We all have our vices, we all have our flaws
We all have our anger, we all have our love
We all

America, in my opinion
Is the prison house of nations
It rings with the sound of truth to me
But let's let the numbers tell the tale
Now, if we were to count all the
People in US prisons and jails
We would account for almost a
Quarter of the worlds prisoners
The actual figure comes to 23%
Of the worlds incarcerated
From a country of a mere 5%
Of the worlds total population
Not since Rome have we seen
Such a fever for imprisonment
So there's a reason I've called it
The prison house of nations because it is
From death row, this is Mumia Abu-Jamal
