lyrics

We've fought the ghosts of vice
Ends justify the price
Installed revolving doors
Kept making room for more
In the ghettos where we hide
What doctors can't prescribe
Free markets don't apply
Police the streets so industries can thrive
Odds against a second chance
Face the facts
Keep the public afraid
Of the monsters that are made
Discourage common sense
And ignore consequence
The chronic unemployed
The families destroyed
Build more homes for the poor
With bars to hold these casualties of war
Odds against a second chance
Face the facts
They need them coming back
In private prisons
In barbed wire yards
There's a growing market
For third world income jobs
Out on the 18th green
Executives discuss
How to keep the prisons full
And pass the cost to us
The worse the system fails
The more profit building jails
Pays out 18 to 1

Fucks Your Ears
by Dry Hump

Hardcore fetishism from Lowell degenerates. New ep is has a foot firmly planted in rock n' roll but with a tasty layer of sleeze. Probably the most overlooked and under appreciated band in MA. OBLIVIONATION
