Burn Them Prisons
(album: Fuck World Trade)
a lie i once heard: "we´re innocent until proved guilty"
but the truth is absurd
we´re poor until proved rich
and the scales of justice are fixed by lying pigs
a 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, ha! when there´s no one left
swat police in riot gear are bombing us tonight
an all our civil liberties will die by morning´s light
while crooked politicians lie and rig the ballot book
we whitewash fake democracy and paint another coat
we´ll keep you here to stay; you´ll never get away
your property ain´t mine, until your dying day
we´ll crush your soul inside; there is no easy ride
the hotel´s never free and the rooms are always occupied
nice of you to join us welcome to the prison age
financial quest for new frontiers to build a bigger cage
surplus populations growing all around the world
capital invests quick to cage these boys and girls
we´ll bomb the police state, assassinate the magistrate
we´ll go to every town and burn them fucking prisons down
we´ll keep you here to stay; you´ll never get away
your property and mine, until your dying day
the court pretenders fake, the judge is on the take
if you wanna find a cop you´re gonna have to drag the lake
