The Prison Song
They're tryin' to build a prison They're tryin' 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 Ooh, I buy my crack, my smack, my bitch Right here in Hollywood
{Nearly two million Americans are incarcerated in the prison system Prison system of the U.S.}
They're tryin' to build a prison They're tryin' to build a prison They're tryin' to build a prison They're tryin' 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 Ooh, 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 tryin' to build a prison They're tryin' to build a prison They're tryin' to build a prison They're tryin' to build a prison For you and me to live in Another prison system Another prison system Another prison system For you and me Who for?

Why? All research and successful drug policy shows That treatment should be increased Why? And law enforcement decreased While abolishing mandatory minimum sentences Why? All research and successful drug policy shows That treatment should be increased Why? 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 Ooh, 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 tryin' to build a prison They're tryin' to build a prison They're tryin' to build a prison They're tryin' to build a prison For you and me to live in Another prison system Another prison system Another prison system For you and me Who for?
