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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Weaving tapestries over[00:00:31]

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

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

Or even nuclear attacks[00:00:39]

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

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

Nobody＇s buying so come up[00:00:46]

With the money boys[00:00:47]

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

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

Squeezing on the trigger[00:00:54]

Call in the reinforcements[00:00:59]

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

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

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

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

But the teeth[00:01:22]

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

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

Swallowing each new possession[00:01:30]

It＇s building a prison[00:01:34]

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

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

New answers will satisfy[00:02:17]

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

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

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

With enough ambition[00:02:26]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I＇m trying hard to forget[00:02:49]

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

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

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

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

Lesser honest men[00:03:00]

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

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

Call in the reinforcements[00:03:11]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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