lyrics

Cold hard cell walls
Cries in the halls
Bars on windows
Locked in a cage

This deep, dark place
Reserved for the poor,
The disenfranchised
Without the means

When people fail
We throw them in jail
When people fail
We throw them in jail

Out of sight is out of mind
If we sweep the streets
Of the people whose existence shows our flaws
We are morally corrupt

When people fail
We throw them in jail
When people fail
We throw them in jail

What does bail do
Besides discriminate by wealth?
Stop letting spoiled rich kids
Walk away scot-free

When people fail
We throw them in jail
When people fail
We throw them in jail

Jail is no place
To learn and grow
That’s why we can’t
Leave kids to rot
Thrown in jail when they’re just teens
Due to smoking or skin color
Stop this pointless life-ruining
Get rid of harsh sentences for non-violent offenders

When people fail
We throw them in jail
When people fail
We throw them in jail

When people fail
We throw them in jail
When people fail
We throw them in jail
When people fail
We throw them in jail
When people fail
We throw them in jail
