System of a Down

They're trying to build a prison

They're trying to build a prison


Following the rights movement

You clamped on with your iron fists

Drugs became conveniently

Available for all the kids


Following the rights movement

You clamped on with your iron fists

Drugs became conveniently

Available for all the kids


I buy my crack, might smack my bitch

Right here in Hollywood

Nearly 2 million Americans are

Incarcerated in the prison system

Prison system of the U.S.


They're trying to build a prison

They're trying to build a prison

They're trying to build a prison

They're trying 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


I buy my crack, might smack my bitch

Right here in Hollywood

The percentage of Americans in the prison system

Prison system, has doubled since 1985


They're trying to build a prison

They're trying to build a prison

They're trying to build a prison

They're trying to build a prison

For you and me to live in


Another prison system


Another prison system

Another prison system

For you and I, for you and I, for you and I


They're trying to build a prison

They're trying to build a prison

They're trying to build a prison

For you and me

Oh baby, you and me


All research and successful drug policy shows

That treatment should be increased

And law enforcement decreased

While abolishing mandatory minimum sentences


All research and successful drug policy shows

That treatment should be increased

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


I buy my crack, I 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 trying to build a prison

They're trying to build a prison

They're trying to build a prison

They're trying to build a prison

For you and me to live in


Another prison system

Another prison system

Another prison system

For you and me

For you and me, for you and me


They're trying to build a prison

They're trying to build a prison

They're trying to build a prison

For you and me

Oh baby, you and me
