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
*** became conveniently available for all the kids
Following the rights movements you clamped on with your iron fists
*** became conveniently available for all the kids
I buy my crack I smack my b***h
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 ** offenders fill your prisons you don't even flinch
All our taxes paying for your wars against the new non-rich
Minor ** 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 I smack my b***h
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
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 ** policies show
That treatment should be increased
And law enforcement decreased while abolishing
Mandatory minimum sentences
All research and successful ** policies show
That treatment should be increased
And law enforcement decreased while abolishing
Mandatory minimum sentences
Utilizing *** to pay for
Secret wars around the world
*** are now your global policy
Now you police the globe
I buy my crack I smack my b***h
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
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
