TXT We're A Very Young Country-Sabertooth Swing/Sister Helen Prejean/Weedie Braimah 文本歌词

We’re a very young country

And violence has worked for us in the past

It began with the settling of this continent and the genocide against Native Americans

Then continued when we brought slaves over

Now we tend to blame the poor and see them as a criminal element

And use coercion and violence to control them

It’s part of a cultural understanding

That says the only way to subdue evil is with violence

But it’s not part of human nature

Look at all the countries in the world that don’t have the death penalty

To some extent violence is part of our nature, but compassion is too

Seeking justice for everybody is also part of human nature

The death penalty is the most important civil-rights issue of our time

It’s a politically symbolic issue

Because it says that the way we’re going to solve problems is by violence

It says that some among us are such a danger to who we are and what we stand for

That they must be eliminated

To arrive at this mind-set, human beings have to flip a moral switch inside that says

“The Other is not human like us”

And so we can do whatever we want to them

And of course, the execution must be removed from the public eye

The chamber is behind prison walls

And we don’t hear about what goes on inside it
