Smoke and Mirrors

"Full on prison reforms he says" He means ,we wanna lock up more With smoke and mirrors they mean to confuse us When enslaving peoples the family business They feed on sorrow, and on hate They've got the keys,they'll build the gates Unhappily living in a cell of their making Don't want us having fun and procreating As long as we're this side,and they on that On total misery they will grow fat Cause even though it makes men worse They'll throw more in, they'll use more force Freedoms not a word in their vocabulary Wouldn't want us taking control of our own destiny As free men can learn to sail the oceans of their soul s To Map the stars,reach far away goals And as criminals they know ,that they can make more Along with their profits ,they love to keep score! So they can hide behind mirrors, and puff out more smoke But we gonna live with our love and our hope And those with their BS can F off an choke!
