Price We Pay
Preach hope and they breed despair
Behind bars there's a cause somewhere
We oblige the sanctity of lies
A fair shot and we're so sincere
We've got everything you need right here, a fallacy
Were you ever really free?
A show of hands in the land of the free
There's 5 million that we just can't see
If they're nothing like you out em where they're supposed to be
Your situation Is the price you pay
For being born where you were, that way
It's meant for some, not all and that's how things have to stay
Red didn't go that far astray
3rd strike he's out and locked away
Deep in the reaches of pelican bay
Hey hey hey
Can you hear me now?
He's doing 25 years!
Every 20 seconds they disappear
Into the darkness - who's next?
Behind bars there's a cause somewhere
We oblige the sanctity of lies
A fair shot and we're so sincere
We've got everything you need right here, a fallacy
Were you ever really free?
A show of hands in the land of the free
There's 5 million that we just can't see
If they're nothing like you out em where they're supposed to be
Your situation Is the price you pay
For being born where you were, that way
It's meant for some, not all and that's how things have to stay
Red didn't go that far astray
3rd strike he's out and locked away
Deep in the reaches of pelican bay
Hey hey hey
Can you hear me now?
He's doing 25 years!
Every 20 seconds they disappear
Into the darkness - who's next?
