Lock Us Away

Lock Us Away - Naked Aggression

Don't support the war on crime

Innocent people are doing time

More and more cops more and more jails

This solution to crime is going to fail

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

They're not concerned with your safety

They want to control you

Congress passes more oppressive laws

Then they lock us away

Wall street 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

Congress passes more oppressive laws

Then they lock us away

Wall street 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

Incarceration and the death penalty

Do nothing to reduce since I 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 health care

Education and housing

Domestic violence and child abuse is never ending

But none of these atrocities are seen as crime

Neither is sending someone off to war to die

Congress passes more oppressive laws

Then they lock us away

Wall street 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
