New Homes For Idle Hands Lyrics - Today's Empires, Tomorrow's Ashes - Propagandhi

Suburbs tremble again 

Fearing the have nots at the window 

Collecting their fair share 

Guns and alarms aren't enough 

They demand justice 

And every criminal locked away 

As well as any kid 

Who might do something wrong 

There's a jail out of town 

With fences so high 

We won't think about who's inside 

Neighbors are disappearing 

Behind the bars 

Kids are doing time for petty crimes 

It don't matter who they are 

It don't matter that they're alive

The 5 Most Memorable Moments From The 2017 VMAs 

A warehouse for victims 

Of circumstance 

Cops are rounding up slaves 

Workers that can't complain 

Or come late 

A workforce behind bars 

They'll make gadgets 

Circuit boards or fix cars 

It don't matter who they are 

It don't matter that they're alive 

Crime pays 

Ask the bankers floating bonds 

To build cages 

For the inner city's 'idle hands' 

Instead of schools 

Photos 

Factories with fences 

Meet the prisons without walls 

We shall have your skulls 

They'll kick you to the ground 

You'll find yourself employed again 

On the inside
