Three Strikes Lyrics

When they came for the Jews

I didn't protest, I wasn't a Jew

When they came for the crack dealers

I applauded that too

Tired of tripping over homeless beggars

At the latte stand

Drug war sweeps

Made the neighbourhood feel clean

Then they found some pot seeds

In my rented car

Seized everything I owned

Without trial

Oh-oh

Oh-oh Oh Oh-oh

Oh-oh

Oh-oh Oh Oh-oh

In the hot hot Sun

Of an abandoned Army base

Rot the throngs of excess humans

Uncle Sam's "Detained"

Immigrants and patriotically incorrect

Or buying a ticket at the airport in cash

While back

This is ethnic cleansing

American style

More people in jail

Than any country's ever tried

Oh-oh

Oh-oh Oh Oh-oh

Oh-oh

Oh-oh Oh Oh-oh

Welcome to the gulag

Of the Red, White, and Blue

Gotta keep up with the Chinese slaves

So hard labour for you

Pushups on command

Long marches, shaved headsJello Biafra - Three Strikes - http://motolyrics.com/jello-biafra/three-strikes-lyrics.html

Guards cost money

So we use an electric fence

When it's 100 outside

Chain gangs mow the lawn

Freeze your ass off and shovel snow

When it's 15 below

Three Strikes

Three Strikes

Three Strikes

You're out

Life in prison for stealing a can of beer

Or sitting in a stolen truck

Or swipe your cousin's TV

Life for shoplifting one jar of vitamins

Supreme Court said that ain't

Cruel and unusual punishment

The more our prisons

Are privately owned

Prison-industrial complex grows

They need more bodies

To cram in more cells

So they finance campaigns

For more 3 strike laws

Oh-oh

Oh-oh Oh Oh-oh

Oh-oh

Oh-oh Oh Oh-oh

Oh-oh

Oh-oh Oh Oh-oh

Oh-oh

Oh-oh Oh Oh-oh

Three Strikes

Three Strikes

Three Strikes

You're out

Let me out!
