Lock Us Away 가사

Don't support the war on crime Innocent people are doing time More and more cops and more jails This solution to crime is gonna fail Don't you see what they're trying to do They're not concerned with your safety They want to control you congress passes More oppressive laws then they lock us away Wall street perpetuates poverty then they lock us away The media creates hysteria then they lock us away Soon the whole country will be under martial law Then they'll lock us all away People have always been the same There's always been asshole who should be locked away such as murderers, rapists and all politicians But now there's people getting locked away for no reason Incarceration the death penalty Do nothing to reduce crime it distracts us From fighting the social conditions which create this insane violence such as poverty and racism and sexism and homelessness The only way to fight against crime is to put human need before profit Don't support the war on crime Innocent people are doing time We're denied health care, education and housing Domestic violence and child abuse is never ending But none of these atrocities are seen as crime Neither is sending someone off to war to die
