Dont support the war on crime
Innocent people are doing time
More an more cops and jails
This solution to crime is going to fail
Dont you see what theyre trying to do
Theyre 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 theyll lock us all away
People have always been the same theres always
Been assholes who should be locked away such as
Murderers, rapists, and all the politicians
But now theres 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
Dont support the war on crime
Innocent people are doing time
Were 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
