Kalief Browder


Another Wasted Life’ was actually written after I heard of the story of Kalief Browder, who was put into solitary confinement after not having been charged for a crime. When he was released, it wasn’t too much longer after that he committed suicide.

It obviously fits very squarely into the mission that I’ve had for a very long time. It’s one that I hope will bring more attention to the plight of exonerated men who are still stuck in prison because somebody wanted to close a case or because somebody lied and fingered them, or just because once you’re in, they don’t want you to get out.
Does it matter what the crime
If indeed there was this time
He’s given solitary time
An institutional caprice

It’s a torture of the soul
The narrow confines of control
Thrown down the stinking hole
with no hope of release

It’s just another wasted life
It’s just another wasted life
It’s just another wasted life
It’s just another wasted life

Things then finally understood
He’s returned but damaged goods
He fought hard as he could
until he saw the last release

Another day another murder
A punishment taken further
A surrender without murmur
God trust his soul is at peace

It’s just another wasted life
It’s just another wasted life
It’s just another wasted life
It’s just another wasted life
