《Prison Is Private Property (A Life Of Your Own)》歌词

[00:00:00] Prison Is Private Property (A Life Of Your Own) - Rocky Votolato

[00:00:00] The have nots have had enough

[00:00:02] And now they＇re out to kill the king

[00:00:04] Of what looks to be an evil empire

[00:00:06] Where short-term earnings mean everything

[00:00:09] There＇s a pressure to deliver here

[00:00:11] Your gonna get hurt if you don＇t play this game

[00:00:14] Nobody will ever know just the CEO to the CFO

[00:00:18] If you can work some magic

[00:00:20] We can double our paychecks

[00:00:21] So make the s look right

[00:00:22] Wall street is a ruthless mistress

[00:00:24] With a quick and painful judgment

[00:00:28] Temptation is in deep now

[00:00:29] Threads of greed run through this fabric

[00:00:31] Weaving tapestries over

[00:00:33] Your eyes to prepare the landscapes for disaster

[00:00:36] Anthrax or a plane crash biochemical

[00:00:39] Or even nuclear attacks

[00:00:41] Integrity is too damn expensive

[00:00:43] Discount the price but still

[00:00:46] Nobody＇s buying so come up

[00:00:47] With the money boys

[00:00:48] Or you＇ll be chocking on a barrel

[00:00:51] And it just might be your own finger

[00:00:54] Squeezing on the trigger

[00:00:59] Call in the reinforcements

[00:01:04] You＇re working hard on a life of your own

[00:01:08] Three square meals and a place to call home

[00:01:12] The American dream can be found here

[00:01:16] If you keep your mouth closed

[00:01:22] But the teeth

[00:01:22] You keep clinched is what＇s killing the chance

[00:01:26] Your mouth is watering as you imagine

[00:01:30] Swallowing each new possession

[00:01:34] It＇s building a prison

[00:02:12] You＇ll think there＇s a place where you made it

[00:02:15] You searched for this your whole life

[00:02:17] New answers will satisfy

[00:02:18] But then you realize it＇s never enough

[00:02:21] That＇s the slickest marketing

[00:02:22] I＇ve ever seen - a spiraling trap

[00:02:26] With enough ambition

[00:02:27] And a firm set of rules you can have anything you want

[00:02:30] You can walk right out into the world

[00:02:32] And capture and kill god

[00:02:35] In a little box or a little book to be understood

[00:02:40] But no one can argue with the good sense

[00:02:42] And strength of a solid foundation

[00:02:44] Or with the weakness born

[00:02:46] When corruption is the rule and not the exception

[00:02:49] I＇m trying hard to forget

[00:02:51] Everything I thought I knew

[00:02:54] You＇ve climbed much too high to

[00:02:56] Let the truth stop you now

[00:02:58] Or to concern yourself with the investments of

[00:03:00] Lesser honest men

[00:03:03] The ladder's been brutal

[00:03:05] But the payoff is just around the corner

[00:03:11] Call in the reinforcements

[00:03:16] You're working hard on a life of your own

[00:03:21] Three square meals and a place to call home

[00:03:25] But you keep getting lost each time

[00:03:27] You walk out your front door

[00:03:34] Me I've got a family I know real well what it means

[00:03:38] To make sure there's enough food on the table each day

[00:03:42] But I'd rather starve than be a whore for an empty living
