They're trying to build a prison,
They're trying to build a prison, Following the rights movements You clamped down with your iron fists, Drugs became conveniently Available for all the kids, Following the rights movements You clamped down with your iron fists, Drugs became conveniently Available for all the kids, I buy my crack, my smack, my bitch right here in Hollywood. Nearly 2 million Americans are incarcerated In the prison system, prison system of the U.S. They're trying to build a prison, They're trying to build a prison, They're trying 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, 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 trying to build a prison, They're trying to build a prison, They're trying to build a prison, (for you and me to live in) Another prison system, Another prison system, Another prison system. (for you and me) FOR YOU AND I! YOU AND I! YOU AND I! You and I. They're trying to build a prison, They're trying to build a prison, They're trying to build a prison, For you and me, Oh baby, you and me. All research and successful drug policy show That treatment should be increased, And law enforcement decreased, While abolishing mandatory minimum sentences, All research and successful drug policy show That treatment should be increased, 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, 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 trying to build a prison They're trying to build a prison, They're trying to build a prison, They're trying to build a prison, (for you and me to live in) Another prison system, Another prison system, Another prison system. (for you and me) FOR YOU AND I! YOU AND I! YOU AND I! You and I. They're trying to build a prison, They're trying to build a prison, They're trying to build a prison, For you and me, Oh baby, you and me.  submitted by chris corrected by Joe on 21-12-2004 |

9 posts | Awesome song, I love the really fast parts before the choruses
"drug money is used to rig elections and train brutal corporate sponsored dictators around the world..." ---absolute genius. Also liking the buy my crack my smack! Incredible talent there. I think people are turned off by the whole death-metal thing (altho this isnt death metal it has its elements and certainly is heavy in most places), I know - I used to be. But listening to the vocal harmonies in Atwa, Aerials, it just made me realise that these hideous bands (not soad specifically  ) actually are very talented and skilled at what they do. That's what turned me on to this kind of music, and I've loved every minute of it.
greetz keep rockin |

16 posts | they have the bassist sing the "I get my crack, my smack..." part....thats y the voice is so different
It's not their bassist it's their Guitarist Daron Malakian. And Ya this song kicks ass. 5/5 for everything. I love the death metal vocals. (For you and I) and the instruments are awesome, one of my favourite songs great message. |
