LYRICS
Good is dead
Say talking heads in the news
Their fingers point
In her direction
Harsh accusations
quick to accuse
Good is dead
Made-up-sins for the notice board
Red ink circles on every word
Signed and stamped for the secret war
They said Good was bad
So they buried her story
Called her every name
While raising their Old Glory
Good is dead
The reality’s heartbreaking
Yet they say Good was a victim
Of her own making
The driving was Good
The path covered with Ice
She said she wasn’t mad
Her partner offered them advice
The image that burned
Was in the window with a smile
It must have drawn their ire
‘Cause someone opened fire
Accused and convicted without trial
They said
“Look what she did”
“Don’t believe what you see
We will tell you what to think
And you will bend the knee
Yes, you will bend the knee
But the truth that we saw
Still tastes like a warning
If Good is gone tonight
Who are we by morning?
THE STORY BEHIND THE SONG
Renee Nicole Good was in her car, stopped sideways in the street when agent Ross drove around her vehicle and returned on foot. Other agents approached, and one told her to get out while reaching into her car through her open window. Ross moved to the front-left of the vehicle as Good briefly reversed, then began driving into the direction of traffic while turning away from Ross. While remaining upright, Ross fired three shots, killing her: one through the windshield, then two through the open driver’s side window from the side of her vehicle as it passed him. He later drove away from the scene. Analysts have not conclusively determined whether or not the vehicle touched Ross at any time.
Federal law enforcement officials and President Donald Trump defended the shooting, saying the agent acted in self-defense and that Good ran him over. This account has been contested by eyewitnesses, journalists, and Democratic Party lawmakers, some of whom have called for a criminal investigation. Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey and Minnesota governor Tim Walz called on ICE to end their presence in the city. Thousands have protested in Minneapolis, and more have protested in other cities including Chicago, New York City, and Washington, D.C.
