We Build Our Own Prisons-The Pinkerton Thugs

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... " F**k 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?
