- Prison Song LyricsSongwriters: Tankian, Serj; Malakian,

John;
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?
Who for?
Who for?
You and I
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
Oh baby you and me
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?
Who for?
Who for?
You and I
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
Oh baby you and me
