[instrumental intro]

[verse 1]
welcome to your new home
the rent is cheap
and there’s only one catch
you can never leave

mandatory minimum extended lease
ten to twenty years and then you’re finally free

but n0body’s hiring and your life’s a wreck
and you’re never gonna pass a background check

you do what you have to do to survive
but they’re breathing down your neck
so now you’re looking at life

[chorus 1]
welcome to the land of freedom
you know that was a lie
thе only freedom that you get
is the freedom that you buy

they’rе taking the homes we used to live in
they’re building us a private prison
writing laws that’ll help their business plan
they’re taking the jobs that let us thrive
and they’re getting fat off our demise
making prisoners in high demand

[instrumental bridge]

[verse 2]
welcome to the greatest country on the earth
for prison population we come in first
there’s only one group we don’t prosecute
that’s the banksters that made you destitute

your overworked public defender’s okay
cus the cops and the lawyers and the judges get paid
it’s looking great on the résumés
waging class war we win it with every case

[chorus 2]
welcome to the land of freedom
if you can pay the price
pony up for private council
or pay up with your life

they’re taking the homes we used to live in
they’re building us a private prison
writing laws that’ll help their business plan
they’re taking the jobs that let us thrive
and they’re getting fat off our demise
making prisoners in high demand

[instrumental bridge]

[verse 3]
the cops don’t care that this is a game
the big winner is alec and the cca
they’re bringing steady work to the little towns
put on this uniform and bring your fellow men down

this flavor of poison not approved by the state
but it’s what he needed to tolerate
the emptiness of a p-wn’s existence
and so now he’s fodder for the private prison
(private prison)

[chorus 3]
welcome to your new career
kid you still working for free
you’re never getting out of here
now that’s job security

death to every corporation
that profits from incarceration
writing laws that’ll help their business plan
they’re riling up state governments
and selling them state violence
making prisoners in high demand
making prisoners in high demand
