Prison Song Lyrics - Toxicity - System Of A Down

They're tryin' to build a prison 

They're tryin' to build a prison 

Following the rights movements 

You clamped on with your iron fists 

Drugs became conveniently 

Available for all the kids 

Following the rights movements 

You clamped on with your iron fists 

Drugs became conveniently 

Available for all the kids 

Ooh, I buy my crack, my smack, my bitch 

Right here in Hollywood 

{Nearly two million Americans are incarcerated in the prison system 

Prison system of the U.S.} 

They're tryin' to build a prison 

They're tryin' to build a prison 

They're tryin' to build a prison 

They're tryin' 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 

Ooh, I buy my crack, my smack, my bitch 

Right here in Hollywood 

{The percentage of Americans in the prison system 

Prison system has doubled since 1985} 

They're tryin' to build a prison 

They're tryin' to build a prison 

They're tryin' to build a prison 

They're tryin' to build a prison 

For you and me to live in 

Another prison system 

Another prison system 

Another prison system 

For you and me 

Who for? 

Who for? 

Who for? 

You and I 

They're tryin' to build a prison 

They're tryin' to build a prison 

They're tryin' to build a prison 

For you and me 

Oh baby you and me 

Why? 

All research and successful drug policy shows 

That treatment should be increased 

Why? 

And law enforcement decreased 

While abolishing mandatory minimum sentences 

Why? 

All research and successful drug policy shows 

That treatment should be increased 

Why? 

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 

Ooh, I buy my crack, my 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 tryin' to build a prison 

They're tryin' to build a prison 

They're tryin' to build a prison 

They're tryin' to build a prison 

For you and me to live in 

Another prison system 

Another prison system 

Another prison system 

For you and me 

Who for? 

Who for? 

Who for? 

You and I 

They're tryin' to build a prison 

They're tryin' to build a prison 

They're tryin' to build a prison 

For you and me 

Oh baby you and me
