lyrics

(I know not whether Laws be right,/ Or whether Laws be wrong/ All that we know who lie in gaol/ Is that the wall is strong/ And they do well to hide their hell,/ For in it things are done/ That Son of God nor son of Man/ Ever should look upon!)
Busy hands build those walls higher and higher, mixing cement hard, closing windows with bars of iron/ The wage slaves build prisons for the state from the tax money they were obliged to pay/But isn’t it -out here- a prison too?/ “Outmates”, inmates unite: break those walls down!/ Fire!/ Burn!
(The vilest deeds, like poison weeds,/Bloom well in prison air;/ It is only what is good in Man/ That wastes and withers there;)



Most people are locked up because of reasons leading back to social injustice (the country or social class one was born to and its consequences) or a kind of state repression (failing or resisting to obey to rules of the law). Those who write criminal laws hardly ever get caught committing one of them. Those who pay for the construction of prisons, and who actually build them, have the chance to get into one of them. Those who have already got locked up once will probably get there back again. Those who profit on the whole prison system want you to believe and support them. Those who fight the law hardly ever win…
