You own the men, pointing the guns
You got us bombs, to blow us all up
You blow us up and you don’t give a fuck
You call the shots while the whole world dies
Sticking needles into our lives
You shoot us up you don’t give a fuck
You tell yourself that you do it from love
The public good and justice
But there a voice deep inside
That keeps you guessing into the night
Do what it takes, not everyone wins
Sirens sings, the blue red spins
You got the cages to carry em all
If when you run out, you can just build more
And It make take a little time
Till someone comes along who won’t let you hide
And they see you and they know you
You build the prisons to lock us all up
You do us out for a few greasy bucks
You lock em up and you don’t give a fuck
You smile wide while the whole world dies
You make the news that’s fucking our minds
Its all lies and don’t give a fuck
You take the money, Nobody will know
And if they find out, it’s all part of the show
A Public service served with a smile
The scandal fades after a while
And it may take a little time
Till the other psychos come and eat you alive
That’s right, they weren’t your friends
But you kinda knew that, right?
