Fool's Gold

Now, I believe in safer streets

And men in blue walking the beat

I believe there is a need

To lock up murderers, rapists and thieves

Although I don't see where I can be

In favor of your death penalty

One thing that's come to my attention

Is the growing number of house of detentions

A steady paycheck and job security

A boon to small-town economy

Just as fast as we can build them

The police and the judges fill them

How are you to make amends

When you lock up all your friends?

Who has the gold shall make the rules

Who crosses them shall be their fools
