Текст песни System of a Down - Prison Song

They're trying to build a prison,
They're trying to build a prison,

Following the rights movements
You clamped on with your iron fists,
Drugs became conveniently
Available for all the kids,
(repeat 2x)

I buy my crack, I smack my bitch,
Right here in Hollywood,

Nearly 2 million Americans are incarcerated
In the prison system,
Prison system of the U.S.

[Chorus:]
They're trying to build a prison,
They're trying to build a prison,
They're trying to build a prison, (for you and me to live in)
Another prison system,
Another prison system,
Another prison system. (for you and me to live in)
For you and I, for you and I , for you and I.

Minor drug offenders fill your prisons
You don't even flinch
All our taxes paying for your wars
Against the new non-rich,
(repeat 2x)

I buy my crack, I smack my bitch,
Right here in Hollywood,

The percentage of Americans in the prison system
Prison system, has doubled since 1985,

[Chorus:]

They're trying to build a prison,
They're trying to build a prison,
They're trying to build a prison,
For you and me,
Oh baby, you and me.

All research and successful drug policy show
That treatment should be increased,
And law enforcement decreased,
While abolishing mandatory minimum sentences,
(repeat 2x)

Utilizing drugs to pay for secret wars around the world,
Drugs are now your global policy,
Now you police the globe,

I buy my crack, I smack my bitch,
Right here in Hollywood,

Drug money is used to rig elections,
And train brutal corporate sponsored
Dictators around the world.

[Chorus:]

They're trying to build a prison,
They're trying to build a prison,
They're trying to build a prison,
For you and me,
Oh baby, you and me.

Они пытаются строить тюрьму,
Они пытаются строить тюрьму,

После правовых движений
Вы зажали нас своими стальными кулаками,
Наркотики стали легкодоступными
Для всех детей,
(повторяется 2 раза)

Я покупаю себе кокаин, я отшлёпываю свою тёлку
Прямо здесь, в Голливуде....

Почти 2 миллиона американцев сидят в тюрьме,
В тюремной системе,
Тюремная система США.

[Припев:]
Они пытаются строить тюрьму,
Они пытаются строить тюрьму,
Они пытаются строить тюрьму, (для тебя и меня, чтоб мы жили в ней)
Другая тюремная система
Другая тюремная система
Другая тюремная система. (для тебя и меня, чтоб мы жили в ней)
Для тебя и меня, для тебя и меня, для тебя и меня.

Малолетки-торговцы заполняют ваши тюрьмы
Вы даже не дрогнете
Все наши налоги идут на ваши войны
Против новых неимущих.
(повторяется 2 раза)

Я покупаю себе кокаин, я отшлёпываю свою тёлку
Прямо здесь, в Голливуде....

Количество американцев в тюремной системе
Удвоилось, начиная с 1985.

[Припев:]

Они пытаются строить тюрьму,
Они пытаются строить тюрьму,
Они пытаются строить тюрьму,
Для тебя и меня,
О, детка, тебя и меня.

Исследования и успешная политика по борьбе с наркотиками свидетельствуют,
Что следует более пристальное внимание уделять лечению,
А не соблюдению законов,
В то время как обязательное минимальное заключение вообще нужно отменить
(повторяется 2 раза)

Наркотики используются для оплаты секретных войн во всем мире.
Наркотики - это ваша глобальная политика,
Теперь они - политика земного шара.

Я покупаю себе кокаин, я отшлёпываю свою тёлку,
Прямо здесь, в Голливуде....

Наркодоллары идут на привлечение избирателей,
Поддерживая становление организации зверской
Диктатуры во всем мире.

[Припев:]

Они пытаются строить тюрьму,
Они пытаются строить тюрьму,
Они пытаются строить тюрьму,
Для тебя и меня,
О, детка, тебя и меня.

They're trying to build a prison,

In the prison system,
Prison system of the U.S.

[Chorus:]
They're trying to build a prison,
They're trying to build a prison,
They're trying to build a prison, (for you and me to live in)
Another prison system,
Another prison system,
Another prison system. (for you and me to live in)
For you and I, for you and I, for you and I.

They're trying to build a prison,
They're trying to build a prison,

After legal movements
You squeezed us with their iron fist ,
Drugs became conveniently Available
For all children ,
( repeat 2x )

I buy my crack , I smack my bitch
Right here in Hollywood ....

Nearly 2 million Americans are in prison ,
In the prison system ,
United States prison system .

[Chorus:]
They're trying to build a prison,
They're trying to build a prison,
They're trying to build a prison, ( for you and me , that we live in)
Another prison system
Another prison system
Another prison system . ( for you and me , that we live in)
For you and me , for you and me , for you and me .

Youngsters marketers fill your prisons
You do not even flinch
All of our taxes go to your war
Against the new poor.
( repeat 2x )

I buy my crack , I smack my bitch
Right here in Hollywood ....

The number of Americans in the prison system
Has doubled since 1985 .

[Chorus:]

They're trying to build a prison,
They're trying to build a prison,
They're trying to build a prison,
For you and me ,
Oh, baby , you and me.

Research and successful policies to combat drug show
What should be more attention paid to the treatment ,
And law enforcement ,
While mandatory minimum sentences cancel
( repeat 2x )

Drugs are used to pay for secret wars around the world.
Drugs - is your global policy ,
Now they - the policy of the globe.

I buy my crack , I smack my bitch ,
Right here in Hollywood ....

Drug money going to attract voters
Supporting the establishment of the organization 's brutal
Dictatorship in the world.

[Chorus:]

They're trying to build a prison,
They're trying to build a prison,
They're trying to build a prison,
For you and me ,
Oh, baby , you and me.
