Pretrial (Let Her Go Home)
They wouldn't let her
They wouldn't let her
They wouldn't let her, wouldn't let her go home
They wouldn't let her go home
They wouldn't let her go home
They wouldn't let her go home and now there's no more home
She took on extra shifts, still couldn't pay the bail
No danger, no flight risk, but she would stay in jail
She was not convicted of anything
She was not convicted of anything
Won't you let her go home?
Won't you let her go home?
Won't you let her go home?
At home she's got two kids and grandma needs her care
Who pack the lunch and give meds if she's in jail, not there?
They already took the only daddy that they ever had
Shot him then put a gun near him that he never had
Wouldn't let him go home
Wouldn't let him go home
Wouldn't let him go home
Two months, the rent's past due and gramma took a fall
The kids' been missing school to see her at the hospital
When the teacher saw that they were not in school again today
She called cps and cps then took the kids away
Wouldn't let them go home
Wouldn't let them go home
Wouldn't let them go home
Inside the news hits hard, she's never been more alone
Can't afford a new phone card, besides nobody's home
Shame and isolation, economic deprivation
And there's no more home
And there's no more home
And there's no more home
Preliminary hearing's short, only witness is the cop
He doesn't even show up in court and all the charges get dropped
What the fuck's the point of all the fucking hell he put her through?
Took her whole world away and set her up to start 'round two
Wouldn't let her go home
Wouldn't let her go home
Wouldn't let her go home
And now there's no more home
They wouldn't let her
They wouldn't let her
They wouldn't let her, wouldn't let her go home
They wouldn't let her
They wouldn't let her
They wouldn't let her, wouldn't let her go home
Wouldn't let her go home
Wouldn't let her go home
Wouldn't let her go home and now there's no more home
Audiencia Preliminar (Déjala Regresar a Casa)
No la dejaban
No la dejaban
No la dejaban, no la dejaban regresar a casa
No la dejaban regresar a casa
No la dejaban regresar a casa
No la dejaban regresar a casa y ahora ya no hay más hogar
Ella tomó turnos extra, aún no podía pagar la fianza
Sin peligro, sin riesgo de fuga, pero se quedaría en la cárcel
No la habían condenado por nada
No la habían condenado por nada
¿No la dejarías regresar a casa?
¿No la dejarías regresar a casa?
¿No la dejarías regresar a casa?
En casa tiene dos hijos y la abuela necesita su cuidado
¿Quién prepara el almuerzo y da las medicinas si está en la cárcel, no está ahí?
Ya le quitaron al único papá que jamás tuvieron
Le dispararon y luego le pusieron una pistola cerca que nunca tuvo
No la dejaban regresar a casa
No la dejaban regresar a casa
No la dejaban regresar a casa
Dos meses, el alquiler está atrasado y la abuela se cayó
Los niños han faltado a la escuela para verla en el hospital
Cuando la maestra vio que no estaban en la escuela otra vez hoy
Llamó a servicios sociales y ellos se llevaron a los niños
No los dejaban regresar a casa
No los dejaban regresar a casa
No los dejaban regresar a casa
Dentro, las noticias golpean fuerte, nunca se sintió más sola
No puede pagar una nueva tarjeta de teléfono, además nadie está en casa
Vergüenza y aislamiento, privación económica
Y ya no hay más hogar
Y ya no hay más hogar
Y ya no hay más hogar
La audiencia preliminar es corta, el único testigo es el policía
Ni siquiera se presenta en la corte y todos los cargos se desestiman
¿De qué chingados sirve todo el infierno que le hizo pasar?
Le quitó su mundo entero y la preparó para comenzar la segunda ronda
No la dejaban regresar a casa
No la dejaban regresar a casa
No la dejaban regresar a casa
Y ahora ya no hay más hogar
No la dejaban
No la dejaban
No la dejaban, no la dejaban regresar a casa
No la dejaban
No la dejaban
No la dejaban, no la dejaban regresar a casa
No la dejaban regresar a casa
No la dejaban regresar a casa
No la dejaban regresar a casa y ahora ya no hay más hogar
