Within hours of ICE shooting Renee Good, protest singer Jesse Welles put out this song, ‘Man Shoots Woman in Car,’ with powerful lines such as “You probably don’t need to shoot someone in the face to do the thing that you’re calling a job”.
I’ve had more dangerous encounters at gas station counters
And the Walmart parking lot
But the smaller the man, the quicker the plan
Goes to “Somebody’s getting shot”
Kevlar and jeans, a mask and a gun
And a badge for everyone in the mob
You probably don’t need to shoot someone in the face
To do the thing that you’re calling a job
He’s the protest singer for these times.
