Prison Song

Lyrics

They're trying to build a prison
 They're trying to build a prison
 ♪
 Following the rights movement, you clamped on with your iron fists
 Drugs became conveniently available for all the kids
 Following the rights movement, you clamped on with your iron fists
 Drugs became conveniently available for all the kids
 I buy my crack, my smack, my bitch right here in Hollywood
 (Nearly two million Americans are incarcerated in the prison system, prison system of the US)
 (They're trying to build a prison)
 They're trying to build a prison
 They're trying to build a prison
 They're trying to build a prison
 (For you and me to live in)
 Another prison system
 Another prison system
 Another prison system (for you and me)
 Minor drug offenders fill your prisons, you don't even flinch
 All our taxes paying for your wars against the new non-rich
 Minor drug offenders fill your prisons, you don't even flinch
 All our taxes paying for your wars against the new non-rich
 I buy my crack, my smack, my bitch right here in Hollywood
 (The percentage of Americans in the prison system, prison system, has doubled since 1985)
 (They're trying to build a prison)
 They're trying to build a prison
 They're trying to build a prison
 They're trying to build a prison
 (For you and me to live in)
 Another prison system
 Another prison system
 Another prison system (for you and me)
 For you and I, you and I, you and I
 You and I
 They're trying to build a prison
 They're trying to build a prison
 They're trying to build a prison for you and me
 Oh, baby, you and me
 Oh
 Oh
 All research and successful drug policy show that treatment should be increased (oh)
 And law enforcement decreased while abolishing mandatory minimum sentences (oh)
 All research and successful drug policy show that treatment should be increased (oh)
 And law enforcement decreased while abolishing mandatory minimum sentences
 Utilising drugs to pay for secret wars around the world
 Drugs are now your global policy, now you police the globe
 I buy my crack, my smack, my bitch right here in Hollywood
 Drug money is used to rig elections and train brutal corporate sponsored dictators around the world
 (They're trying to build a prison)
 They're trying to build a prison
 They're trying to build a prison
 They're trying to build a prison
 (For you and me to live in)
 Another prison system
 Another prison system
 Another prison system (for you and me)
 For you and I, you and I, you and I
 You and me
 They're trying to build a prison
 They're trying to build a prison
 They're trying to build a prison for you and me
 Oh, baby, you and me
