Burn Them Prisons

Lyrics

[Intro] A lie I once heard: "We're innocent until proven guilty" But the truth is absurd We're poor until proven rich And the scales of justice Are fixed by lying pigs [Verse 1] Plot of human terror unfolds Behind the precinct door To cage all the minorities The immigrants, and poor Next, they'll hunt the handicapped Disabled, blind, and deaf And what will all these piggies do, huh When there's no one left? SWAT police in riot gear Are bombin' us tonight And all our civil liberties'll Die by morning's light While crooked politicians lie And rig the ballot vote We whitewash fake democracy And paint another coat [Chorus 1] We'll keep you here to stay (Stay) You'll never get away ('Way) You're property and mine (Mine) Until your dying day (Day) We'll crush your soul inside (side) There is no easy ride (ride) The hotel's never free (free) And the rooms are always occupied [Verse 2] Nice of you to join us Welcome to the prison age Financial quest for new frontiers To build a bigger cage Surplus population's growing All around the world Capital's invested quick To cage these boys and girls [Pre-Chorus] We'll bomb the police state Assassinate the magistrate We'll go to every town And burn them fuckin' prisons down [Chorus 2] We'll keep you here to stay (Stay) You'll never get away ('Way) You're property and mine (Mine) Until your dying day (Day) The court pretenders fake (Fake) The judge is on the take (Take) And if you wanna find a cop (Cop) You're gonna have to drag the lake! [Bridge: Spoken] Capitalism creates such a division Between the rich and the poor That this surplus population is created And the "government" solution has been Their containment for increasingly Petty offenses [Verse 1 Reprise] Plot of human terror unfolds Behind the precinct door To cage all the minorities The immigrants, and poor Next, they'll hunt the handicapped Disabled, blind, and deaf And what will all these piggies do, huh When there's no one left? [Outro bridge] We'll bomb the police state Assassinate the magistrate We'll go to every town And tear them fuckin' prisons down We'll bomb the police state Assassinate the magistrate We'll go to every town And burn them fuckin' prisons down Down! [Post-Song: "Fuckin' Pigs"] Fuckin' pigs, fuckin' pigs We're against the fuckin' pigs Stab them with some dirty rigs Buried under dirt and twigs Gotta hate that gang of fuckin' pigs
