Leftöver Crack
Burn Them Prisons
[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
