The Prison Industry

music: Vic Mizzy

vocals: Samsara

(to the tune of the Adam's family" theme song)

There's profit to be made
Don't worry bout fair trade
You, too, can participate
In the global economy!
Products for cheap (snap snap)
Big profits you keep (snap snap)
Now you can compete
Think of the sweet
Benefits you'll reap (snap snap)

No unions in your way
They work eighteen hours a day
You can force them to obey
It's the new enslavery!
Pennies a day (snap snap)
They can't get away (snap snap)
When they complain
About their pain
Noone hears what they say (snap snap)

We give 'em drugs and guns
So there's millions to imprison
Only black and poor and young ones
Like plantations used to be
Three strikes you're out (snap snap)
No reasonable doubt (snap snap)
Unless you got clout a white
Collar to tout
You're not gettin' out (snap snap)

The police force will protect you
The media reflect you
The protesters reject you
It's the prison industry (snap snap)
