Lyrics

Yesterday's executioner Becomes today's victim If you're the homeless poor or the social worker You're still absorbed in the system They must remain sick So we can continue to treat them Lockdown There's no responsibility To provide what people need Crime Whichever cage to be put in Of flesh or mind, there is a sin Crime From those confined or paranoid Someone else can be employed Crime Pay our debt to society We pay captains of industry Crime [Chorus] For anybody doing time We've been witness to the Crime Punishment For those who're casting pearls to swine Someone profits from our Crime Punishment Section 8 housing Research laboratories Privatized correctional facilities [Chorus] Crime And then seal off the neighborhood A brand new prison, for their own good Crime Yesterday's executioner Becomes today's victim They must remain sick So we can continue to treat them Lockdown Prison riot [Chorus] For anybody paying time We've been witness to the Crime Punishment For those who're casting pearls to swine Someone profits from our Crime Punishment Crime Crime Punishment Time is passing (Crime) The execution should be started (Crime) (Punishment) And I am not yet finished (Crime) Explaining the apparatus (Crime) (Punishment) Crime Punishment Crime Punishment Punishment
