lyrics

judge not lest ye be judged by every single person on this earth who has a heart
and pay mind to those you lock up and remember every singe family you tore apart
and every singe dirty kid youve taken off the street for the upper class' sake still has a bleeding heart that beats
and every single penny you make probationers pay will reflect poorly on your record if and when there is a judgment day
as long as there is a soul in prison, i am not free
needless incarceration is a plague on society
careful when you cruise around with lights blue and red on your car black and white
and careful when you draw your gun, the people that you kill should be the ones who say what's wrong and what is right
careful when you lie in bed and think before you sleep, you might begin to realize your life is incomplete
if the only thoughts inside your head are the ones your system gave to you, careful or you'll start to think up your own definition of the truth
as long as there is a soul in prison, i am not free
but heartless judges and crooked cops are all that i can see
so spare me the lecture of how you've got power over me because this jail belongs to you
i'd like to see you shit your stripes and make tallies of the nights that you spend crying through your window at the moon
and finally feel the hate we feel towards cops and magistrates
and understand there is no hope for you to rehabilitate
yourself or anybody else from inside of an eight-by-eight
you'll spend every waking moment on your ass in fear of prison rape
as long as there is a soul in prison, i am not free
we can burn the jails down and rid the world of inequality
