lyrics

"Mama burn them prisons down!"
She said to me, "What about the murderers, the rapists and the thieves?"
"You celebrate 'em with a yellow ribbon on the back of your SUV!
Now I know you'd hate to hear me criticize the military but the system they help keep in place ain't one representative of me!"

Mama when the ashes fall while the fire rises high it'll feel like liberation from a system occupied with injustices and punishments for those who don't abide. See the laws are set in place feeding on the desperation of the poor. Capitalism is perpetual class war!

While all the people are escaping, no longer prisoners but men, kill the guards, fetch the warden and hang him till he's dead. The pigs will soon be here but they'll be tossed into the flames. The memories of oppression: washed away with the rain with room to grow and start anew again.

Oh, how beautiful it will be! The war that the government wages will be fought by the ones who are no longer locked up in cages!

FIRE!
