text: Was it Cesar Chavez or Rosa Parks that day?
  Some say Dr. King or Ghandi
  Set them on their way
  No matter who your mentors are
  Its pretty plain to see
  That if youve been to jail for justice
  Youre in good company
  Have you been to jail for justice?
  I want to shake your hand
  Cause sitting in and laying down
  Are ways to take a stand
  Have you sung a song for freedom
  Or marched that picket line?
  Have you been to jail for justice?
  Then youre a friend of mine
  You law abiding citizens
  Come listen to this song
  Laws are made by people
  And people can be wrong
  Once unions were against the law
  But slavery was fine
  Women were denied the vote
  While children worked the mine
  The more you study history
  The less you can deny it
  A rotten law stays on the books
  til folks with guts defy it!
  Have you been to jail for justice?
  I want to shake your hand
  Cause sitting in and laying down
  Are ways to take a stand
  Have you sung a song for freedom
  Or marched that picket line?
  Have you been to jail for justice?
  Then youre a friend of mine
  Well the law is supposed to serve us
  And so are the police
  When the system fails
  Its up to us to speak our piece
  We must be ever vigilant
  For justice to prevail
  So get courage from your convictions
  Let em haul you off to jail!
  Have you been to jail for justice?
  I want to shake your hand
  Cause sitting in and laying down
  Are ways to take a stand
  Have you sung a song for freedom
  Or marched that picket line?
  Have you been to jail for justice?
  Then youre a friend of mine
  Have you been to jail for justice
  Have you been to jail for justice
  Have you been to jail for justice
  Then youre a friend of mine
