Title: 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
Following the rights movements
You clamped on
With your iron fists
Drugs became conveniently
Available for all the kids

I buy my crack
I smack my b****
Right here in Hollywood

Nearly 2 million Americans
Are incarcerated
In the prison system
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
(For you and me
To live in)
Another prison system
Another prison system
Another prison system
(For you and me
To live in)

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
I smack my b****
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
To live in)
For you and I
For you and I
For 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

All research and successful
Drug policy show
That treatment
Should be increased
And law enforcement decreased
While abolishing
Mandatory minimum sentences
All research and successful
Drug policy 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
I smack my b****
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
To live in)
For you and I
For you and I
For 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
