We Build Our Own Prisons

The Pinkerton Thugs


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?
