Lyrics to Changed Minds

What "order" is being maintained here? To whose benefit

are these laws for? Each situation not taken into

account, so a racist classist sexist institution of

forms. Womyn in prisons for self defense, kills her

abuser, she finally fights back. Or a resistant assistant

to a forceful man, but "battered womyn's syndrome must be

a myth". And so her punishment will be more harsh because

she's stepped out of her passive role. Of her own life,

she van never have control. Stay helpless, don't try to

break the mold. Enforcement of a random "norm"

established by people I couldn't dispise more. Prisons

punish the desperate and those who refuse to conform, to

uphold this system's shit, anyone who rejects it is a

suspect. But crimes themselves are rarely the problem,

they're jsut symptoms of a culture gone terribly wrong.

Laws create a dependece on the State, they prevent us

from taking matters into our own hands. Meanwhile the

mass murderers, environmental destroyers, CEO's and tehir

corporations remain free, their actions unpunished.

Prisons never worked in the past, try something new. When

will we take back our autonomy? When will we set

ourselves free?
