Rape Of The Mind

With the sun sinking slowly

And the vultures flying low

Out on the streets again

With nowhere to go

You've taken you last chance

And there's nothing left to lose

Pull the gun your on the run

And caught by the man in blue

Does the punishment fit the crime

It's a rape of the mind

Take a look at the rich man

At the people that he owns

Watch the smile on his face

Eviction from their homes

Caught for tax evasion

On the new he's taken away

Out a day later

ain't got nothing he wants to say

His money pays for his time

It's a rape of the mind

Now the padded cell is waiting

And the doctors come to call

Shock treatments aren't helping

Still your shocked some more

Take your mind from you

And your freedom in return

With the hopes one day

A lesson has been learned

Does the punishment fit the crime

It's a rape of the mind

Rape of the Mind
