The prison system, inherently unjust and inhumane Is the ultimate expression of injustice and inhumanity in the society at large. Those of us on the outside do not like to think of wardens and guards as our surrogates, yet they are. And they are intimately locked in a deadly embrace with their human captives behind prison walls. By extension, so are we. The terrible double meaning is thus imparted to the original question of human ethics "Am I my brother's keeper?"
The second of February, 1980 Began three days of misery A scene of retaliation Epitomizing violence, horror, and vindication Thieves, murderers, and rapists Inundated their prison like homicidal sadists Guards and convicts alike would pay the price To them the electric chair would look like paradise Only degradation, torture, and cremation would suffice
A sea of agony rolled in like the coming of the tide The more fortunate escaped the insanity through suicide The screams of the dying would haunt the living to the grave Survivors of the riot relive the nightmare every day The last act of defiance
With a never-ending appetite Barbiturates set them off like dynamite Eradicating informants Acetylene torches dealt the punishment Melted from skin to bone The fire silenced their screams to moans Smoke filled the air from bodies set aflame Begging for mercy, but their words were spoken in vain They weren't allowed to perish until they cherished all the pain
Guards they had taken hostage Were to blame for pushing them over the edge Their brutality would be their demise Like sharks in a frenzy they lashed out at their prize When the madness had ended The gore was too intense to be comprehended No one explained the real reason why For cruelty of a few, so many should die They knew of the flaws, but still insist the cause was justified
When the missiles are falling, and the reaper comes calling You had better kiss your ass goodbye Atomic detonation, mass immolation Without a warning, all your memories will die So try to relax, face up to the facts You'll either die or the fallout will rot you in your tracks There'll be no tomorrow, only pain and sorrow 'Cause our futures in the hands of a raving madman
They spend all their time building missiles so people die What kind of life do you expect for us to live? We're angered by fear, because the time is near When some lunatic will finally pull the plug And forever after, you can hear the laughter World's being plastered by an evil bastard Exterminating faster, devastating plaster Fabulous disaster Now you can see, what this all means to me When the bomb Comes falling Down
Now the reaper has called, but do you have the balls To sit there or stand up and fight? Try to make a note, it's your right to vote To keep these fucking assholes in line It will always be the same 'cause they lie in their campaigns Promise through their teeth for total world peace So we know it's not the truth, they should call Dr.Ruth On how to give the people the real big screw
They spend all their time building missiles so people die What kind of life do you expect for us to live? We're angered by fear, because the time is near When some lunatic will finally pull the plug And forever after, you can hear the laughter World's being plastered by an evil bastard Exterminating faster, devastating plaster Fabulous disaster Now you can see, what this all means to me When the bomb Comes falling Fall Down
Here's a new dance craze that's sweeping the nation It's called the toxic waltz and it's causing devastation You're jumping up and down like a psycho circus clown Slamming with waltzers all the way around You get caught up in the whip You're thrown into a flip You aim for someone's head To stain the floor red Give someone a kick To prove you're truly sick Bounce back from some blows And blood runs out your nose

Down in the bayou where the alligators roam Live some people, you leave them alone Getting lost may be your last mistake Unfriendly strangers, unkindly they take Living off the fat of the land They hold their justice in the palm of their hand Lay down your gun and surrender quiet Or there's gonna be a Cajun riot
Danger in the swamp, that waits for you There's nothing left that you can do Better watch your back, for the vicious attack 'Cause they'll be looking for you Playing with your life, for your life is too short Pain is too good for you Your last breath, is all you have left Take it before you're doomed Cajun hell Before you're doomed
Raising hell, and they're ready for fighting Huntin' gators and drinking white lightning Brewin' moonshine at a still in the swamp Playing Creole from dusk until dawn Protect their own is the law of the land Mess with their law it will get out of hand Keep it in mind if you're ever down there It might be fatal, you better beware
Spare the rod, spoil the child Daddy's boy's been too wild His discipline's taught with a strap No sweet song on father's lap He always said that men don't cry But burns and bruises seldom lie Dad learned his lesson well Spitting image of a man in hell
Brought up in a home where love's replaced by pain And when he's on his own he's sure to do the same Expressing his feelings not with love but with his fists The pattern of hurting began generations before
Like father, like son Another life has begun The punishing ways that you choose You were always born to lose Like father, like son A war you've never won Please Daddy, no more... Please Daddy, no more!
The circle continues of violence passed down All there is hope for is a tear from a clown Hoping someday that this torture will end To prison or death I hope you will be sent
Now do you feel like your life is on hold? Maybe you've come to the end of your road Admitting your sins may be your sacrifice To stop all this pain to your son and your wife
The lowest form of life that's crawling in our streets From seedy dope pushers to the politicians we meet The sorry religious vomit that infests in our TVs The weapons that we sell to the trash in the middle east Murderous drug smugglers pay their way to pass They look the other way when they take the kickback We've got to put a stop to this senseless bullshit Take all these people and throw them in the pit
Let us know where our tax dollars are spent Tell us how how much it costs to repent Time has come for us to take a stand Let us know when you meet our demands
You can take this all to hell Shove it up your ass where the sun ain't shining We know now what it takes to defend If disaster strikes then they'll be hiding You can take this all to hell Shove it up your ass where the sun ain't shining We know now what it takes to defend If disaster strikes, then they'll be hiding Corruption
From laundering money to hookers on the make There's always a scandal, someone's on the take They payoff for secrets, sell plans to a spy They cover their asses and say it's a lie Society cries when the vermin go free When they're done, what's left for me? This social disorder that's causing us pain Indecent disease, it's they who are to blame
Every time I see your grinning face I realize you're a pitiful disgrace So many fingers pointing down at you Talking behind your back and you don't have a clue Parading around like you think you're god You're just a cheap imitation, a complete and total fraud I'm sick of hearing all your bragging and your lies A real born loser and that's no surprise
You said your father died in Vietnam But you're a bastard son with a whore for a mom Mirror magnet, smelling like a rose You plastic motherfucker, all you do is pose Conceited, self-righteous, and arrogant Your head is so hollow there's enough room to rent Little big man, so full of shit Just shut up, you damn hypocrite
Verbal razors - cut you down to size I'm sick of wading through your bullshit I see through your disguise Verbal razors - slice you to the bone You've been abandoned And now you're all alone
You lost your job because you're incompetent Everybody hates you, your friends all came and went The facade is getting old, we're hip to your charade You mother has disowned you, your wife's out getting laid Evicted from your condo, now you're living in a shack Sitting on your ass shooting up and smoking crack Now look in the mirror, and tell me what you see A strung-out junkie with a college degree!
Nobody cares if you're alive or dead We've had enough of being used and misled You've pissed on everyone you've ever met Now you're digging through the trash looking for a cigarette No one's there to lend you a hand You better help yourself, 'cause I hope you understand Self-centered, back-stabbing egotist Don't fuckin' ask for favors, 'cause you're on my blacklist
Feelings cold as ice, I never, never think twice Hunting down my prey they die Cross my line of death and there's nothing else left Any way you choose you lose Architect of pain, deadly is my middle name And I'm living proof crime pays I'm a psychopath and I create the aftermath That sets the sun forever on you
Haven't you figured out it open season? I'll track you down and kill you for no apparent reason Running like a frightened little rabbit would run I won't be satisfied Until you're nullified Before my eyes
Intoxicating Invigorating It's open season on you
Calling the police and I'm gonna pull my piece Your heart's gonna cease to beat Just look in my eye, black as pitch to horrify You can scream and cry goodbye It may never last and I blame it on the past Being told to kill at will Shivers down my spine when the victim is all mine You begin to beg for help
Haven't you figured out it open season? I'll track you down and kill you for no apparent reason Running like a frightened little rabbit would run I won't be satisfied Until you're nullified before my eyes
Intoxicating, invigorating It's open season on you
Go ahead and run, the chase is always fun But the kill is the icing on the cake A curtain of red from my hailstorms of lead Will rain on you as you die Your face will be spewing chunks of bloody ruin Your baby face will be a gory mask My personal crusade is to see that you are flayed And my hunting knife will complete the task
I never smoked with no cigarettes I never drank much booze But I'm only a man, don't you understand And a man can sometimes lose You gave me something I never had Pulled me down with you Pulled me up, think I'm in love Hope you can pull me through
I overdosed on you I overdosed on you Crazy but it's true Ain't nothing I can do I overdosed on you
Oh woman you give to me More than I can take But listen honey, I don't mind You're a habit I don't want to break Don't want none of that hard stuff Don't need it anymore I'm in love, and I'm sinking fast And I don't need no cure
Gee I was happy as a man could be To far gone to escape Power of love, don't pull me off Just write on my grave:
