[Onsind - Frankland Prison Blues lyrics]

When I see a prison
I see a vested interest in recidivism
The righteous and pure on a moral mission
An awful draconian place
Will nobody listen? Can we please
Move beyond this simplistic vision?
Of "intrinsically bad natured
Citizens" and the
Myth that it's keeping us safe
Keeping us safe

When I see a prison I see an inconsistency
I see differential treatment
I see widespread inequality
I see a failing system that
Is grinning in defeat
I see a cycle that nobody's trying to break
A pattern that's built to repeat

They say "when you open up a school
You close a prison door"

Well we keep underfunding education and
Locking up the poor
And I'm not sure where this is heading
But, I know it isn't great
We turned our heads away and
They built a prison state

"Take me, take me anywhere
I never really cared about this freedom
It was never meant for me
Lead me, lead me to my cell
I deserve to be in hell
There's your solution
You should lock me up and throw away the key
Eternally imprison me
Imprison me imprison me
Imprison me"
