lyrics

Come take a look, come take a look...

Behind bars of society
There is a reflection of humanity
where poverty is always guilty

I wonder why we still put people in those jails
when most of them have only went off the rails
how many captive souls
are dangerous criminal?
eventhough they're all
treated worse than animals

Behind bars of society
There is a reflection of humanity
where poverty is always guilty

disregarding to their age
they can put children inna concrete cage
they drop them in a world of outrage
oh what a fertile ground to grow the rage

what kind of rehabilitation
can we expect from a school of crime
how can you put yourself in question
when you are left in the dirt and grime

Behind bars of society
There is a reflection of humanity
where poverty is always guilty

Look how this system fail
we lock up our problems
in higher scale
the troubles still remain
Look to the prison cell
now can you face the shame
in this human fell
the devil hold the chains

this justice from the iron age
still use detention as a main solution
it's time to write a righteous page
where prison will be just an exception

you cannot fight criminality
if you don't give back people's dignity
with social justice and equity
real education for majority

Behind bars of society
There is a reflection of humanity
where poverty is always guilty
