JOHN MELLENCAMP JENA VIDEO AND LYRICS-Jena 6

Rocker John Mellencamp has written a song entitled Jena,which was inspired by the Jena 6 case. John says that he wrote this song not in "condemnation" of the people of Jena,,but in condemnation of racism.
Here are some of the lyrics:

An all white jury hides the executioner's face
See how we are, me and you?
Everyone here needs to know their place
Let's keep this blackbird hidden in the flue

Oh oh oh Jena
Oh oh oh Jena
Oh oh oh Jena
Take your nooses down

So what becomes of boys that cannot think straight
Particularly those with paper bag skin
Yes sir, no sir we'll wipe that smile right off your face
We've got our rules here and you must fit in
