Ramsey County Blues

Addiction is a sickness, not a fucking crime.
Offenders in possession should be seein’ treatment
instead of doing time, but if inmates ain’t in jail,
prisons miss their quota and States ain’t makin’ fines
bad guys in jail, good guys go free…
but most convicted people are just like you and me!

locked up – locked up!
What for? Nothing, NOTHING.
Locked Up – Locked Up!
What for? Nothing, NOTHING

The courts are stacked against you, the cops all fucking lie
Marching at a rally, driving late at night
Trumped up fucking warrant, bullshit minor fine
if you can’t afford a lawyer, then you can’t afford your rights
Keep you from your numbers, keep you from your phone
Take your only wallet, jump suit for your clothes!

Locked up – Locked up!
What for? Nothing, NOTHING
Locked Up – Locked Up!
What for? Nothing, NOTHING

“Pulled you over for that taillight and found a warrant for unpaid speeding tickets…”
“We illegally entered your home and smelled weed smoke…”
You were in the right place… at the Right Tiiime.

Locked up – Locked up!
What for? Nothing, NOTHING
Locked Up – Locked Up!
What for? Nothing, NOTHING
