Lock Us Away Lyrics - Naked Aggression

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
