SOAD - Prison song

Текст песни SOAD - Prison song

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,
 
(repeat 2x)
 
I buy my crack, I smack my bitch,
 
Right here in Hollywood,
 
Nearly 2 million Americans are incarcerated
 
In the prison system,
 
Prison system of the U.S.
 
[Chorus:]
 
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 to live in)
 
For you and I, for you and I , for you and I. 

Minor drug offenders fill your prisons
 
You don't even flinch
 
All our taxes paying for your wars
 
Against the new non-rich,
 
(repeat 2x)
 
I buy my crack, I smack my bitch,
 
Right here in Hollywood,
 
The percentage of Americans in the prison system 
Prison system, has doubled since 1985,
 
[Chorus:]
 
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 policy show 
That treatment should be increased,
 
And law enforcement decreased,
 
While abolishing mandatory minimum sentences, 
(repeat 2x)
 
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, I smack my bitch,
 
Right here in Hollywood,
 
Drug money is used to rig elections,
 
And train brutal corporate sponsored
 
Dictators around the world.
 
[Chorus:]
 
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.
