Lock 'em Away

dont like what they do, lock them away

dont like what they say, lock them away

does your child display the seven warning signs? lock them away

they're not quite what you had in mind, lock them away

we've got drugs and therapy,

we will fix them for a fee

erasing the mistake, lock them away

three strikes and youre out, lock them away

they're guilty beyond doubt, lock them away

ignore the poor, build more jails,

dont ask where their system fails,

erasing the mistake, lock em away

dont want to see them, wont take their calls

reduce them to a numbered room

like they were never there at all

the old, the sick and lame, lock them away

we ought to be ashamed the way we lock them away

just you wait, we've got a place

when you no longer pull your weight

erasing the mistake

erasing the mistake

lock 'em away
