Song with lyrics mentioning the Paez killing

Jordan Villegas-Verrone recently (4/24) made me aware of this track
by the Houston punk group Really Red. It's called
Teaching You the Fear
and is from their 1981 LP by that title
the verses talk about Black, Hispanic and Gay victims
Carl Hampton
Jose Campos Torres
Fred Paez


As the band was apparently well respected
the song also appears on A Tribute to Really Red, 2020
with versions by
Bellrays (only on CD release)
Hammell on Trial (only on LP release)
Texas Biscuit Bombs (CD release) and live version

And especially, this video doc version by Randy Biscuit Turner
Teaching You To Fear
featuring images of the victims
