lyrics

Out of dry twisted mouths comes the lie
"It's for your own good and that of society"
They say prison is a mercy
If they could see your sisters cry
And know the name crime hides its true face
That your only slip was papers not filed on time
But the world can't stand this kind of aberration
"Why can't we keep these people in their southern nations?"
They say wringing pale weathered hands
Denial of hope makes a better man
And maybe we drove you to this desperation
But we're sure some time in quiet contemplation
Will cure you of your willful spirit
Of your irreverence to the almighty law
Send you to the factory of forced rehabilitation
Chew you up spit you out a proper citizen of this nation
One who can't speak out
One who won't step out of line
One who wastes away their time
Who's given up all hope for a better life
When you're only options are desperate trangressions
Who's fault is it really?

But the problem's so much larger now
The bars, lines on a map
The factory's all around us
So if a nation is a prison then it affects us all

When the've made this life unlivable, then who are the true criminals?

In the name of freedom you wanna build more walls
But when the borders become prison bars then we're all the guards
"Send them back, it's not our problem"
Well, yes it fucking is
Deportation makes more violence
And it's fucking obvious that if you want to throw away the key
Then no one's really free
Open the borders!
Open the gates!
