Pinkerton Thugs - We Build Our Own Prisons lyrics

rate me

Discontent now includes all class

Recognize that you help divide the mass

The place that you're in is the place that you'll stay

You're a brick in the wall of the rich's estate

We build our own prisons

We make our own chains

We tie our own nooses

And it's all in vain

If you're angry today, you're on our side

You can still throw a brick in a suit and tie

I won't pretend we can all get along

Rich vs. Poor? I see nothing wrong

Last night a decaying man said "I don't know what to do"

Today a working woman said "I have barely enough for food"

Suit and tie walks up to me and says "Theres no differance between us

I'm making money for the company, and they leave me in the dust...

" Fuck the leaders! We don't need `em!

Pestilance of all our work!

Power locusts feeding time

We'll bust through our prisons

And break all our chains

We'll cut all our nooses

And end all our pain

The battle lines are drawn, who's side are YOU on?
