Naked Agression - Lock Us Away Lyrics

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
