Lock Us Away

Don't support the war on crime

Innocent people are doing time

More an more cops and jails

This solution to crime is going to fail

Don't you see what they're trying to do

They're not concered with your safety

They want to control you, congress passes

More oppressive laws then they lock us away



Wallstreet 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 assholes who should be locked away such as

Murderers, rapists, and all the politicians

But now there's people getting locked

Away for no reason



Incarceration and 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 needs before profit

Don't support the war on crime

Innocent people are doing time

We're denied healthcare, education, and housing,

Domestic violence and child abuse are never ending

But none of these artrocities are seen as crime

Neither is sending someone off to war to die
