Prison Song

Lyrics

They're trying to build a prison  
They're trying to build a prison  
  
Following the rights movements  
You clamped on with your iron fists  
Drugs became conveniently  
Available for all the kids  
Following the rights movements  
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  
Prison system of the U.S.  
  
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  
(For you and me to live in)  
Another prison system  
Another prison system  
Another prison system  
(For 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  
  
All research and successful drug policies show  
That treatment should be increased  
And law enforcement decreased  
While abolishing  
Mandatory minimum sentences  
All research and successful drug policies show  
That treatment should be increased  
And law enforcement decreased  
While abolishing  
Mandatory minimum sentences  
  
Utilizing 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  
(For you and me to live in)  
Another prison system  
Another prison system  
Another prison system  
(For 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
